(dales, he old ones having been destroyed by lire.
The entire work has been revised, and wc now pro
nounce it the most accurate oik in market. YVe
perceive several new maps; one of Palestine; one of
Liberia; one of Mexico, &c. The Map and ('hart of
the World is presented on an entire new plan, and
one which add great value to the work, and must he
universally admitted. In all respects the work is equal
to any Geography we have, and in several impoitant
particulars superior to the others.

IN uniting these several Ali-diealSystems or modes
oi practice Dr. B. R. THOMAS, t lie Principal
of ihe School, begs leave to state, for the informal ion
of III* ulHieted and public generally, that he has been
many years engaged in the practice ol Medicine, and
lias devoted much of his time, labor and practice, with
many of the most intelligent and successlul German
aud Indian Doetois, botli in the United States and
Canada, to the treatment of acute and chronic dis
ea es of every name, stage and type, and of the most
malignant character ; and has, by [tracticing with them,
acquired a thorough knowledge of ail their valuable
secret Recipes and manner of treaiment, which is far
superior to any tiling known or taught in the Medical
Schools, and witch Mas been successful, by the bles
sings of the Almighty, in restoring to health, hundreds
and thousands of persons that h id been treated lot a
number of years by many of the most learned and
* tenlilic Physicians of the day, and pronounced to be
entirely beyond the reach of remedy, and given over
idle. Yet by thesi.nple,elli ;acious Vegetable Modi
icines,not poisons, they were snatched from the jaws of
ihe gtini monster, death, and restored to health, the
y rentes! of all earthly blessings; lor what is ticlie
and elegant dwellings, without health to enjoy them.
Health is (he poor man’s wealth, and the rich man’s
Miss. To a man laboring under disease, ihe world is
little better than a dreary solitude, a cheerless waste
enlivened by no variety, a joyless scene cheered bi
ll > social sweets ; fur the soul in a diseased body, like
s martyr in his dungeon, may retain us value, but it
Il ls lo t its usefulness.

CRACKERISMS;
A SRETCH OF FLORIDA SERVICE
j
Howsoever correct emi delicate
may be one’s conceptions of human
1 nature, especially of tire ludicrous,
jit is a task of no ordinary naUiretn
(delineate them with fidelity and ef
fect for the amusement or instruction
of the thorough-going world. 1
once had the pleasure to know a
sweet liu!e French gentlewoman,
whose perceptions of humanity* es
pecially the humorous portions of it,
were keen and sensible beyond mea
sure. Not only could idie perceive;
the mannerisms of ; eor-ie. but wbei: i
you chanced to bt* it: her company,j
it should go hard but \ou were cum- ;
polled to laugh, nolens vt.lt us. — |
\\ bother or not she was able to paint j
or desci ibe her comical conceptions j
l could never learn, but [ mo.-i :
heartily wish slit: could be witness!
to some of ihe few “craekerisms”!
daily perpetrated in nm journeyiny-'!
over the sandy pbiins of .!
“Priy what would you mean by
Craekerisms?” Crackers are of
several kinds. “Boston Crackers”
were the delight of our juvenile days,
when oysters were excellent taken
ft om tbe chafing-dish. ‘Soda Crack
ers’ art: the solace of the invalid and \
ibe toothless, “(linger Crackers”
are more pleasant to the tongue of:
the school-hoy, than sin to a man of
the world. Oar “ Craekerisms ” are
.tot manufactures of paste. There
tire “mountain crackers” (videde-.
scription of life on Cro’ nest, by Si
mon Crowell,) there are “YVTstei w
crackers,” and there are—
“ Crackers” of whose k ‘crackerisms” ;
we propose to speak. The Lexicon
says, “Cracker, —a hard biscuit ; a
barbarous wagoner from the interior
of the southern states.”
On the 20th. we arrived at Fort
pitched our tents, iti the manner of
the Israelites dm ing their wander
ings through tlir wilderness, we
were waited on by squire , a
most notable specimen of a “
cracker.”
“Gentle tncii” said he, (with a
most peculiar emphasis on the ulti
mate) —“I onderstund you perpose
disbanding the bridge across the
rivyer at this place. lam sorry to
hear t his, for I hat thar bridge cost an
’mazin deal of labor. I seed the
men when they was buildin’ on’t,
and I reckin if this station is broke
up, and the dod-durned vermints al
lowed to break onto us, arid disband
that thar bridge, it’ll take a consid
erable length of time to put her up
agin!”
“The station will not be altogeth
er broken up, Mr. H. A few men
will be left here, although with or
dinary vigilance the inhabitants
might cat every Indian who made
his appearance within ten miles of
tins place.”
“Why, fjentlc-w/cw. I don’t know!
dud everlastiulv dod-durn tliur yul
lor bides, they aiei most deccptious
! set of critters; they are most inter
jruptious when 3 on iin’t looking lor
them. Didn’t they come right
j spang up to Jopli Jones’ place, ami
jsiioot him from his plough-handle?
j Dod-drat thar skins! didn’t seven of
j’em come to my house ji.st afore ihe
i break of day —when we was ali
!asleep, and didn’t the blue pills fly
! through the chinks of niv cabin,
eight smart? 1 reckin they did.— j
.lest as soon as 1 could fairly under-j
! stand tlio natur’ of the case, S pick-!
‘cd up my old shoot!n-iron , and I
blazed in among the bloody villyaus,
and I kept liie whole eight at a rea
sonable distance until 1 could get
helm”
i •
“You must have had a very warm
; time of it.”
“i reckin 1 did. I slioul . like to
move out onto my place, and m tke;
some hominy if I could be sure the
durnod critters wouldn’t prove savu-i
grous.”
“Where is your place.'”
iLs jest about sovui! milu’i from
ibis on the roati to , a mon
strous good chant o of a (dace it is
too —only just alongside of ny laiii
est astd best field, there is perhaps
omp of t lie most f/un-ga-rou* prtru
rnju! (iiaimnock) in ihe whoh coun
try. It has always been a good bi
(iin place for the blasted varmen,
dod eveiidreftillv burn thar yalleri
skins!
“I do not think the Indians wiil
! trouble any of the inhabitants after
the posts now in contemplation are
established. I have never known a !
country so well protected as this will;
be, in the courstf of a month or six
w eeks.”
“I tell you gentle-men, they are
the most deceptions and interrup
tions people oh the face of ibt
vearth! They come onto you when
you an’t e.vpectin on cm. The firs!
year of the war, my brother Jess,j
away up in county, was a
ploughin’ in his field a little ofl trum
the setl \c.-maits, and his son was lay
in alongside the fence with iiis shoot
in-iron a-lookin out lor the Indians;
for ten chances to one, said Jess,
the dod-blasted yarmin may craw!
on to u filler as they did on Jeph
Jones, and slam away at him while
oe’s ploughin. \\ all, — rny nephevv
was alayin nlong>itle the fence jest
on the nydge of a pretty consnlera
l!e precar on, when lie seed three of
the blasted critters workifl along
fiom tree to tree up towards tire old
man who was whistlin away at his
plough! itmsly dod-durn
mv smnifie,;ut skin,” says the boy
when he seed them, “/f you don’t

• make you f i• it;” No sooner sttid
;i'i 11 :!” it —spang went the hoy’s
; iron, and down went one lndihu—
j squat, was tiie word with the other
two—they linin’t know whar the pill
(came trout that settled their leader!
j Whoop! yelled the boy! Hallo!
j says ji*-s, whats the matter? Var
; mini! seys the bov, who had I *ad
; etie<l hi:* iron again? w iiar? says Jess
I—Whni! 1 —Whni! says the Imv, and oft’ he
* *”
went over the hushes like a deer.
; to see wh.it the two sqtiarin varmin
was a-iioin on! W ould you believe
it gentlemen—in that excess/reshort
t i uu: they had era tried clean out of
sight! —3 011 could see tr/iar t heir t rail
\v s— and it fur they had dragged
lhe dead varmint- -Joss and 1 lie bov
! followed them just to the aydge of a
I large precoron — but they are such
: a decept ions >et, you a n’t place no
wanner < f dependence on ’em.”
“very true, Squire, Indians have
been always considered a very fero
, cions and cruel people. Their na-
Un e prompts them to such deeds as
you .have related. What we look
: upon as coinage, they vit vv as cow
| ardice— sneuk.ug cunning is more
honorable in their estimation, than
tiie most exalted mag in inimt y”—-
“I know ii genie! men , dod blast
’em. J ought to know ’em. The
wav they cut up Zeke Bill ns’fami
ly just on the nydge of the F\ono
yar* scrub was truly ludicrous!—
You’ve beam tell of that massacry
huvn’t you gent ! o-men?’’
Well, you see, Z. lie Biliiiis lived
ion a place jest on the road to
which passes close to the of j
the Ekonoycr! Zeke hud some 1
business to do io 1 lie “up country,”**
just afore the varmint broke loose;
aud be left bis family 00 his place,
never suspiciotun that he shouldn’t
see any on ’em again!—There was
his wife, four children and three
niggers. Wall, Zeke goes off, to
the “up country,” fixes his business
and gets as far sis <-011 his
way to his place. He sort a-hrarn
before he got home, that some kind
of devilment had been goin’ on!
H ovvsomdever he gets on bis crcetur
and “puts out ” to know the worst.
He got two or three of the neigh
bors to go along—and gentlemen
when lie got thar —they found his
house burnt even to the ground, and
llie bodies of hi* wife and children
scattered around?
W here were the negroes?”
Wail, nobody has rightly conclu
ded on that p in —but people mosl-,
ly st.ippo.-e that ihe Indians lull them
into the precorom! —
“But Squire-might not the fami-,
Iv have been murdered by the slaves
who ran away ofiiieir own accord,
and may not have met an Indian
since?”
“Wall, now that may have been
the cast — but how t In* niggers should
| he so hostile, dodhui 11 me if I know!
; they was always well treated. Zeke
I never misused his niggers! Besides
niggers would never have scalped
imv liodvf”
Thus wc were amazed with
“(h'ackerisuis” for a good hour arid
more* by a man who had been rttis
cd among I be poor Indians.
( Imacellor fv'-ui in his commen
taries, when speaking of the title to
Indian lauds, very justly observed:*
“ she restless and enterprising
population on the Indian borders,
ami which, in a consult i aide degree
partakes of the fierce and lawless
manners of she hunter state, are
exempt no doubt from maeb syn.pa
th) with ladi in sufifi rings, and they
are penetrated with perfect con
tempt for lud an rights. Jf it wen;
not for *he frontier garrisons and
troops of the United States, officer
ed by correct and discreet men,
there would probably lie a state of
constant hostility between the In
dians and the white borderers utnl
hunters.
Our Squirt if. is of that class of
men described above. Me believes
that Indians, who when not outra
ged have been justly called “gener
ous barbarians” are no belter than
Vermin—that they are wit bout son Is,
witimat sensibility, without feelings,
and incapable of possessing any na
; rural or acquired rights! Such i*
the per’feetabffitv of human nature!
Selfishness knows not affection!

A dance was “gotten no” on rite
, ‘ \
i evening oi tiw; , which might
have put Fei psichore to the blush,
| and the music of the sade Paganini,
1 am confident, would have thrown
: Orpheus literally in tile shade. I
cannot caii this exhibition- a “ball
costume,” not yet a nuwjucrn ie,
nor whs it in every sense a Jam y
ball, although i doubt ex< eedining
whether Almucks, or the emu tlv as
semblages of St. Janus, ran at a.i
times boast the presence of man \
such fancy characters as graced toe
frolickon the night of the . At
“early candle-light” the company
began to assemble, aid.
•‘By tivii.l.cmieti Janus,
Nuure Ita'li Irani and :>iia.:gc creatures in
her time.”
A Mr. G came into the room,
habited in a dress like Joseph’s coat
of many colors. Capitally he w ire
a mass of bushy hair—an ample
shirt-collar supported his head ly
the ears, strangely reminding me of
a tutor at wlio.-e feet i tihee hnmli'v
sat, and whose collar equalled a ca
lender iu every request. On Nun
day it closed under the ears—on Mon
day the top of his cravat ranged a
long the graduated scale at division
number two; on Tuesday at number
three; until about sun-down on each
successive Saturday 110 vestige of
tin. long tried linen was visible!—
Such a collar as this now graced
the visage of Mr. (’ . His was
a peculiai coat. His nether man
was habited iu white trowsers. or ex
quisites, that never more presume
to “wear such blushing honors thick
upon you !’ About bis ancles he
had tied blue ribbon, xvit h bows pen
dant! In bis own view be w’as de
cidedly the greatest and best dress
ed man in the room. As for the
room, it was enclosed with logs,
wiihout ceiling, wainseoating, or any
other civilized appurtenance. The
dancing was peculiarly “cracker,”
consisting of those movements of
the pedestals generally known as
“double trouble,” “juba,” aud other
equally energetic and graceful steps.
J'lie dancers appeared to ‘go in’ not
so much for fashion as for exercise.
S politely requested the honor
of Miss Lydia Ann’s company in a
waltz! ‘ln a what?’ modestly in
quired he blushing d< nisei. ‘ln a
waltz,’ repeated the anxious swain.
‘I never heard tell of such a tiling;
is it a game two can play at?’ This
was too much for poor H , anti
he retired with indescribable fecl
iugs.
For people surrounded by a sa
vage enemy, liable at any moment
to be fallen upon, perhaps at the
still midnight hour, and cut to
ices, I never saw such trieiry men,
; wonen, and children. Nothing but
I continual laughing, feasting and
j merriment. W. G.

Most of the foreigners hud left
Canton, and apprehensions were
entertained of a riot among the peo
ple in consequence of being thrown
out (if employment by the cessation
of the foreign trade.
From Pekin the most important
item of news was the f. ct of six can
didates for liteinry honors having
been discovered with opium on their
persons in the very hall of learning.
They have been sentenced to re
ceive a hundred blows and to he
transported. Alas for the immuni
ties of authors!
The Chinese did not appear to
he much alarmed at the prepara
tions of the British.
Dr. Parker, the missionary, was
about to sail for New York to re

THE MESSAGE—M. VAN BUREN.
Unless we are widely mistaken in’
our judgment, the recent Messngo
of Mr. Van Buren is a document
which will he read with honest pride
by who stood at his side iii the
recent contest, while it is cub ul:.ted
to cause emotions of profound re
gret in the bosoms of many who
opposed him, at having si ffered
themselves to he tempted by delu
sive clamor into hostility to a wise
and patriotic statesman and to the
supremacy of those principles which,
sooner or later, must he relied upon
to secure the lasting welfare of the
corntry. Ff the influence of pas-*
sion, prejudice and artfully ihiriesH
ed excitcmt has already so f.i pass
ed away, and we are at least certain
that it is rapidly disappearing,: to
leave the minds of men f* ee t<; he
operation of argument and op i. to
the convictions of reason, i wiiloa
ly he necessary, in order to satisfy
them of the recent g; at and deplo
rable error of me people, to place
tins Message in tluir hands and to
secure for it a candid perusal, it
may he indeed that the moment lias
not yet fully come for such justice—
the irrita ed temper of misled par*’
ti.sauslup m y still operate against
an impartial judgment, hut we feel
assured that Mr. Van B’u.en’s iasf
address tothe representatives of the
people, if it receives only a portion
of the attention to which it is enti
tled, will he the commencement of
the re-action which eventually is
destined to gain for him the unqual
ified applause and admiration of his
countrymen and to give luma lofty
place in the estimation of posterity,
fiis fame will he the brighter for the
temporary shadow which obscures
it, and the Statesman/ Conscious of
rectitude and firm in the belief that
his measures have been based upon
immutable truth, can well afford to
wait for his reward until popular de
lusion Ifas given place to a “sober
second thought.*’
The Message, taken throughout,
is in its detail of facts, a masterly
and convincing vindication of Mr.
Van Boren’s administration of tiny
affairs of the general government
from the calumnies which have been
so unceasingly poured upon it, and
the reader cannot fail to be struck
