[ From the Democratic Review.\ Wealth* Fame* Love And Truth “Oh, give me Wealth !” he said, and lo! The pebble caught the diamond’s glow; And mountain crag and valley mould- Burned with the hues of gem and gold— He had his prayer —’twas his, the whole*— But grief sat heav}- on his soul. “Oh give me Fame !”—The laurel bough' Twined with the oak to wreathe his brow; The trumpet pealed, and pod’s lyre Breathed forth his praise in words of fire; He had his prayer, —’twas his, the whole— But grief sat heavy on his soul. “Oh give me Love !” Bright lips were there,. Fair brows —than Parian stone more fair; And eyes of loveliness undreamed, With beauty’s glorio :s spirit beamed; He had his wish, —‘twas his, the whole— Yet grief sat heavy on his soul. “Oh give me”—“Stay!” a soft voice came, “Wealth has been thine, and Love, and Fame ! Ask not again, but irive thy youth, Time, being, spirit—all to Truth : A’nd then, though clouds without thee roll, Light, light shall rest upon thy soul 1” The Philosophy of Advertising is very well given in a work published in London by C. Mitchell, entitled “The Newspaper Press Di rectory.’* The principles stated are quite as applicable in this country as in Eurepe; The Philosophy of Advertising-- “There is but one way of obtaining, business —publicity; one way of obtaining publicity— advertisements; the newspaper is the fly wheel by which-the motive power of commercial en terprise is sustained and money the steam by which the advertising is kept going.-”—[Black wood’ s Magazine. When Dr. Johnson wrote “The Idler,” he deemed the trade of advertising to be so near perfection that it was not easy to propose any improvement. “Every man t ’s he observes, “now knows a ready method of informing the public of all that he desires to sell or buy, whether his wares be material of intellectual— -whether he makes clothes or teaches nlathe mathics —whether he be a tutor that wants a pupil, or a pupil that wants a tutor.” If this Were the case in thele irned Doctor” days bow much more is it so at the present —for the media through which advertisements may be circula ted are greatly increased; and although that eminent and sagacious personage was of opinion that “the trade of advertising,” had attained almost its final state of improvement, were he now living he would find reason to own that he was mistaken; and that that trade which he esteemed “so near perfection,” was then in a very crude and imperfect state indeed.- But advertising is an art as well as a trade. It is the trade of the proprietors of newspapers, magazines or other channels though which advertisements may be given to the public; it is an art —and an art which requires some skill to attain —in the hands of those who by adver tising seek to recommend either themselves or their wares to the public. It may now be laid down as an established axiom that no trade or profession can be follow ed advantageously without some species of ad vertising. “To advertise,” is become a matter of absolute necessity to those who live by their exertions, mental or corporal; for even the physician and the lawyer, who deem it beneath the dignity of their profession to follow the example of John Smith, linen draper,’* or “Tomas Brown, tailor,” by directly announcing their names, residences and occupations in the advertising columns of their local journals, find means to do the same thing indirectly. Every report of an-assize case, or a prosecution at a quarter session, of a speech at a public meeting, is an advertisement for the lawyer, who feels annoyed if his name is not mentioned in connection with the case in which he is engaged; whilst the medical man finds an ad vantage in being brought before the public in connection with the institutions of his town; and many when striving to establish themselves are eager to see their names introduced into a newspaper in an ingenious paragraph, which, in those cases, answers all the purposes of a formal advertisement. * * * « « » In selecting the advertiser should remember two rules: 1. That business advertising is of wo party— the advertiser looks for notoriety—for publicity —for benefits —from the expense he goes to in advertising. He should, therefore, not confine his advertisement to those journals which may advocate the same principles he himself pos sesses, but look to that most likely to promote his interests: unless, indeed, he advertises for expressly sectarian or peculiarly party political purposes: and even then we question whether the full benefit of advertising can be served, by confining it exclusively to the papers of the religious or political principles which are sought to be promoted. We should, in such cases, insert our advertisements in papers of opposite opinions; not to the same extent as those which take similar views as ourselves, but certainly we should take care that the subject to which we wished to give publicity should be known as well amongst enemies as amongst friends. 2. The second rule to which we would advise advertisers to adhere is, in looking at the circu lation of the papers to which their attention is directed as an advertising medium, to regard its quality rather than its quantity. Some of the most widely circulated journals in the empire are the worst possible to advertise in. Their readers are not purchasers, and any money spent upon them is so much thrown away. A journal that circulates a mong families of the district; one which has the confidence of the moneyed and respectable classes of society; one -which, from its character.is likely to be read attentively by its circle of readers—in their own house—at their own firesides, whilst it also finds access to the newsrooms and libraries of its locality— is a better medium for advertising, with a cir culation of 2000, than another with a circula tion of 4000, that being chiefly confined to inns, public houses, and beer shops. The reason is this; readers at home look to adver tisements as a part of the contents of the paper in which they may be interested, and almost always refer to them. The same may be said of the frequenters of reading rooms and libraries —generally men of business, who want to see a number of local journals for the advantage of their business announcements; but readers at public houses, it will be found, as a rule, read lor the news and politics, mt for the advertise ments; a long and close observation warrants life in coming to this conclusion. The Telegraph. 1 We cannot express, in words, the great gra tification we feel in announcing to our readers the fact, that at 20 minutes past 4o’clock yes terday afternoon, communication was opened s between this city and Columbia by telegraph. < The business of the Company will be at once commenced, and momentary communication can now be had on all matters between the cit- ’ izens of the two cities. < Dr. Duncan and Mr. Huntington, who have , the management of the office here, appear to * be gentlemen well fitted for their station, courteous, zealous and attentive, and must experience great pleasure, and be relieved of much anxiety, after having found that every 1 tiling connected with the Telegraph is com plete. Mr. Huntington, the operator, informs us ] that the machine here works to admiration, even better than was anticipated, and, and this is the more gratifying, from the fact that the weather was unfavorable, being cloudy, and rain falling throughout the afternoon and eve ning. # » Continual commuication was kept up until 10 o’clock last evening. We give some of the 3 conversations that took place when the in strument first commenced operating. When it was found that the wire was con nected, Mr. Huntington commenced— 1 Columbia, Do you get my writing ? i Charleston, I get all you write to me. Mr. , Huntington, did you get my letter to-day ? Columbia,, Have just received and read it. — I have now a Message. Charleston, Go a-head. . The first Message sent, was to W. D. Por ter, Esq., a member of the Charleston Delega-- tion, from Major Alexander Black, inquiring whether a Memorial and Charter of the Tele graph Company had been received. The an swer was that it had, and been presented. Several other Messages were forwarded, and answers received, and some conversation took place between the operators.- Among the communications was the follow ing, dated 8 o’clock, P.’ M., from Messrs. Sill & Stubs, to whom we tender our thanks for their kindness. -For Charleston Court o— “The Legislature has invited Gen. Quitman to visit the Capital with Gen. Shields, as the’ guest of the S tate. “Tuesday next, at one ./clock, is fixed for the discussion of all different Bills for the election of electors of President and Vico j President. “Monday is commencement day of S. Car- ! olina College. The Board of Visitors of the College, have applied to the Legislature for twenty thousand dollars to erect additional College buildings.” We made the inquiry of our correspondent, whether there was any thing new, who res ponded at half past 9 o’clock, as follows: “Courier Office. — “The Legislature has adjourned. Nothing of importance before it, my report is closed and in the office.”— Charleston Courier. The lion. John C. Calhoun arrived in this city yesterday, on his way to Washington city. He has taken lodgings at the Charleston Hotel. —lb. 21 nqn 5 1 a s (5 car 3 I a . FRIDAY MORNING. DEC. 3? mail last evening from offices North of Charleston. The failure is no doubt caused by the recent freshet in Virginia. the letter from the City of Mexico, portions of which we published yesterday, oc curs the following notice of a gallant young officer, who -has many friends in this State and who is a- native of this county. It was inadvertently omitted* Though so many handsome compliments have been paid him in the official reports of his superior officers, it may be agreeable to our readers to see what is the general impression in the army of his con duct. “Lieut. Longstrecf is doing well. His gal lantry is talked of throughout his division. He brought his regiment, by his example, re peatedly to the charge at Molino del Rev, when it had been* repulsed by the deadly fire of the enemy.” A Candidate’s Campaign After a long interval our piquant and amus ing correspondent “A Backwood’s Candidate,” i again appears in our columns. He gives the result of an imaginary electioneering canvass. It is to be sincerely hoped that in the present day such scenes are wholly imaginary, or at least very soon must become so. The sketches which our correspondent has contributed we have no doubt, are very life-like pictures of what electioneering was, not very many years ago in Georgia. But although the present day may afford cases in many features resem bling these he has portrayed, it must be ad mitted that his descriptions are rather highly coloured. Justice to the people of our State constrains us to say that the clever author has exaggerated, with the double view no doubt of making his pieces more racy, and of im pressing what he writes more deeply upon the moral sense of the community. - The practice however, of treating, of drench ing and brutalizing the “floating voters” with liquor to secure their votes is still too preva lent. It is still carried on in some places to a disgraceful extent in warmly contested elec tions. We are pleased to see the lash of ridi cule laid on. We hope another year our cor respondent will “continue the hoarhound.” His satire is not the less effectual from being applied playfully and in good humor. Congressional Globe- We would call the attention of our readers to the prospectus of Messrs. Blair & Rives, for publishing in Washington City the Congres sional Globe and Appendix. They are publi cations that should be in the possession of all who take an interest in our national affairs, and are published at so low r a price that they are within the reach of almost every one. The Telegraph- It will be seen by an article in this day’s pa per, taken from th» Charleston Courier,"that the Telegraph between that city and Colum bia was in full operation on the Ist inst. We hope it will not be long before it reaches this city, as it is on the direct mail route, and will anticipate the mail one day between the two places. We learn from Washington, that the trial of Lt, Col. Fremont is progressing. In examining Lt. Emory, he stated that Gen. Kearney assert ed that nothing but the want of a sufficient | force prevented him from crushing Col. Fre- | jxiontf and others Who opposed him, and esfab- - fishing the authority with which he was in vested by the War Department. The weather at Washington Was quite cold, and the city was fast filling up with members of Congress and others. The Telegraph posts on James River were washed away by the late freshet, and conse quently there was no communication by tele graph between Petersburg and Baltimore at last dates. The Theatre- We are glad to see by the bills of the daj% that our indefatigable Manager has re-engaged Mr. Crisp and Miss Ellis, and that they will make their appearance this evening in Tobin’s popular Comedy of “ The Honey Moon." The bill offered should draw a good house. The Circus Continues to draw, and is nightly crowded. This is the last night but one of their perfor mances in this city. The Whig-s and the War- The following letter from Col. Wynkoop, of the Pennsylvania Regiment, will be read with interest by every lover of his country. Dis guise it as they please, the course pursued by the leaders of the whig party, in this country, is fast gaining for them the unenviable notori ety of the Tories of the revolution. They may scout at the name of blue light Hartford Con vention federalists, but posterity will fix upon them the same indelible stamp. He that is not for his country is against it, should be, and is, the motto of every true American. [.F rom the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian .] Letter from Col- F. Wynkoop- Francis W. Hughes, Esq., of Pottsville, to whom the following letter was addressed, has kindly placed it at our disposal. It expresses the frank opinions of a gallant soldier, in phrase so direct as to present all misconception. A perusal of it will make out federal friends re gret the course they have pursiied, and rejoice the heart of every true lover of our country, her glory, and her institutions. Col. W. was a “ whig” at home ; but the conduct of the leaders and the organs of the federal party, in their “ aid and comfort” of the enemy, has been so glaringly unpatriotic, that it has con verted him into a good democrat while abroad; a patriot he has always been, as bis conduct fully proves. Castle op Perote, Sept. 9, 1847. My Dear Sir. — Having a little leisure from my daily occupations, and remembering warm ly and freshly several acts of kindness towards me, it gives me pleasure to address you, knowing that ypu entertain some interest for my welfare. I am now in command of this military department, and am kept quite busy with continual skirmishes with guerrillas, and an occasional sharp fight with large forces that gather between here and the coast, in’ order to oppose trains. The health of my garrison is good, and I have hopes that the great mor tality which has existed in the array is decreas ing. This is hard, laborious, and precarious ser vice. Many of our best men have died, and I truly consider the climate, in itself, a much more formidable enemy than the Mexicans.— A noble and self-denying spirit of endurance actuates the men, and complaint of any kind is rare. Contented to do their duty, they risk everything in the effort, and with a cheerful ness which is gratifying to those who command, step up readily to any work, no matter what the chances. It is, as I have before remarked, a hard service, full of toil, and bravely endured. Judge then, of the effect upon our good men here, when they look back over the distance which separates th em from their friends, in an effort to find at home some proper apprecia tion of their self-sacrificing conduct ! It is bitter and humiliating. I tell you, sir, there is a spirit abroad among the good Americans engaged in this war, which will not sleep du ring futurity—a spirit which awaits but their return, to thunder down upon the mouthing, scribbling sycophants of a most unjust party the full measure of an honest indignation. — It is the same that brooded over our land du ring the war of the Revolution and the last war ; and men of the present day, palsied with age, have lived to curse, with tears of repen tance, the hour when she, with scornful finger, marked them for life as the traitors of their country. We, here can see no differ ence between the men who in'76 succored the British,’and those who in '47, gave arguments and sympathy to the Mexicans. This kind of language from a man who came into this cam paign a whig in policy, may sound strange to you ; but I have again and again been com pelled to listen to, and to suffer that which would have changed the disposition and ali enated the affections of the most determined partisan. Even now, I do not object to the leading and main principles of my old party, so much as I curse and deprecate the tone of its acknowledged leaders and supporters. If there is any reason which will prevent General Scott from effecting an honorable peace, com manding as he docs, the whole city of the Aztecs, with his powerful battery, it is the spirit of treason which I unhesitatingly say is promulged by the leading whig journals at home. In a sortie upon some ladrones of Ja lapa, a short time since, I possessed myself of all the late newspapers published in that place; and upon examining them, I find that, in that place, same as in Mexico, the strongest argu ment,published against our army,are selections from whig papers in the United States. I send you a late copy of the “ Boletin de Noti cias,” in which you will preceive that the first article is an extract from the National Intelli gencer, Your friend, F. M. WYNKOOP. You may publish this, if you please. I have become so disgusted with what I have seen, that I have no eare for the consequence which this kind of truth may produce. A Hard Case, if True A correspondent of the London Times, on noticing the statement of the execution at Mexico of the deserters headed by Riley, states, that while at Matamoros, he was arrest ed by the U. States patrol, taken to Tampico, handcuffed by Mr. Clifton, the harbor-master, I j and thrown into prison, on suspicion of being Riley. He adds: “ After I had been there about a fortnight, a 24-pound shell* with a chain six foot long, and two inch links, was fixed to my leg on an anvil at the blacksmith’s, and thus was I kept till it was. reported that I waa to be shof. All this without trial!. I then wrote to the Bri tish Consul, Mr* Glass; he sent to the judge (Capes) and to the commanding officer of the town (Col. Gates) to say that he wished to be present at my trial. This I suppose caused a delay, for that day above two hundred men, chiefly volunteers, went out to see me shot. “ I lay in this manner, double ironed, about four months. In the meantime a description of Riley came from Gen. Taylor’s camp, I was then measured, and found to be six inches shorter, and thereupon was released at once. “ I got ten days soldier’s rations, and a steer age passage to New Orleans, as compensation for my imprisonment in a loathsome place, full of every kind of vermin.” This letter is signed T. R. It is strange that we have never heard of this matter before. Domestic Wine- The Columbus Enquirer of 30th ult. says We have been presented with a bottle of Port Wine, manufactured by Mr. Charles A. Pea body, at bis vintage in Russell county, Ala., a few miles west of this city. It is the unadul terated and unmixed juice of a native grape, and according to our taste is superior to any thing of the kind that the enterprise of this country has furnished. The maker of this ar ticle, during the last year, received from the great American Institute the silver medal awarded for the best American Wine, and has again, at the last meeting of the Institute, won from all competitors the prize of a silver cup. We sampled his bottles of the last year, and regard those of the present season much superior in quality, taste and body. This Wine is made without the addition of any kind of spirituous liquor, or coloring matter, and is to all intents just as it runs from the luscious grape, [ Correspondence of the Constitutionalist .] MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov. 30, 1847, Dear Sir: The Senate considered to-day the bill of the House of Representatives, to appropriate money to furnish the Executive Mansion, and it was amended by striking out $1,500 and inserting $2,500. Upon the final passage the yeas and nays were ordered and were yeas 33, nays, 12. The argument upon the report of the Com mittee on the state of the Republic was re sumed this morning. Mr. Reese moved to strike out the amend ment of Mr. Dimagan adopted yesterday, which called forth very considerable argument and the vote being taken, was yeas 23, nays 24. The debate was continued until dark, arid the vote being taken, the report of the Com mittee was agreed to, with some amendments which I have not been able to obtain. I will send you the resolutions as passed, to-morrow, if I can get them. The special order of the House of Repre sentatives was the bill of Mr. Jones, to sim plify and curtail proceedings at law, &c, Mr, Jones and Mr. Harris of Baldwin, were the principal speakers. The late hour at which the House adjourned prevented me from get ting the result of their deliberations,- P. [Communicated.] A Candidate’s Campaign—No- 5- Mr. Editor: I reckon you concluded I was beat in the election, being as how you did’nt hear from me. Well sure enough I came out second best in the race, and I took it to heart so much I’ve been quite doncey ever since, but I am sorter getting over it now, and as candi dates never get beat fairly, I want to let you know how it was done in my case. You see, sometimes a man comes out behind in his election because his friends think he will be elected any how, whether they go to the polls or stay at home—sometimes the weather is unfavorable and his party don’t turn out well —and again some strange story (all a lie of course) pops up just before the election and no time to clear it up. One thing is certain, all we poor follows tchat got beat, would have been elected, if every thing had been done up fair. Mine was rather a singu lar affair indeed, for I was beat by jist one wagon load of drunkards. You shall hear from my journal. Sunday Morning —My friends said I must prepare for a day’s work to-morrow, must send out a loco, good and true, to every pre cinct (only thirteen of them) to notice that matters were manag’d fairly and squarely at the ballot box, and provide something to moist en the clay of the independent voters and lead them up to the polls in due time, Also have picket guards at the extremity of every street to escort the citizens into town, and furnish them with whisky and votes and give them a proper direction. Sunday Evening —Bob Sanders came in with a score of voters, —said they must quarter on me till the election was over—must be closely attended, for they were some of the floating voters who had no principles in particular, and were in the market for the highest bidder— (Bob is a wheel horse in elections, but he says he don’t see how they could get on without whisky)—kept a full side board —told wife she must provide a good supper —thought they had remarkable appetites —old Joe Goss ate thirteen biscuits and meat to match, but when he sent up for the tenth cup of coffee, wife bristled up and said he should’nt be a hog at her table. I winked at her but she would let out, and the old fellow took it in dudgeon— left the fable, staggard out and swore he would go over to Jim’s and finish his supp«r, and vote for him too—and further, he had no idea of voting for me but thought best to live on his enemies. I told wife she must bear every thing—candidates and candidates wives should never get out of temper —one vote might be of great importance —old Goss’ vote might elect Jim and Jim’s vote elect Berrien, and Berrien might undeclare the war and disgrace the nation —mentioned the Rhode Island pig case that caus’d the last way with England— she answer’d me very tartly—said she thought this was a very hoggish case any how. That i*' # : night she gave me one of her longest curtain lectures—thought of poor Mr. Caudle*. Js>put midnight Bob wak'd me up to say he had a baker's dozen of voters in an old house ii\ suburbs—wa'nt fit to enter a decent house— too much like FalstafTs soldiers—and he just wanted liquor enough to make them sleep well till day light and he’d march them up to the polls, bright and early. Bob is a cute fol low for picking up the floating voters. Monday Morning. —The great day came at last; thought I had the advantage of Jim as he had no grocery, but when I looked out in, the morning h© had a barrel of whiskey by the court house door—the head out and tin cups plenty—a strong game that—what a stopping stone to the polls, “ Now cam© the tug of war.” What a time for a modest man who has any conscience or fine feelings. Jim was wide awake, his hands full of tickets—he went to and fro and literally dragged them to the ballot-box, X thought I would try it too, i but I felt moan, and somehow I didn’t succeed t well, and I gave it up— found I was no match even for beardless boys, who were pushing ' their tickets on old gray-hoadod men—thought a small visitation of shoe leather would have been apropos just to hoist them out of their ( minority. I can hardly tell how I got through , the day, for, having to sip a little with every friend, I was rather tight, and didn’t notice particulars. But night came at last, and then commenced the counting out. ’Twas an ex citing time, as we talley’d close, but I saw X was going a leetle behind, and I got very sick —started home —stopt at the grocery to tell my boy to hold off —found a nice set there —in one corner some ‘ lovers of fun,’ were betting on “little Sam,” who was rearing and pitch ing, and throwing himself into all manner of contortions to shake a thrip off his forehead which wa’nt there. On the other side, old Jerry Horton was seated on the floor, with his back in close contiguity with a hogshead of whisky, under which the rogues had fas tened his coat tail, and there he was discours ing eloquently to himself on the blessings of liberty. (I saw him next day minus a coat tail.) In the centre of the room the rascals had built a square pen with the drunkards that were past all locomotion, and ever and anon they would jerk out the bottom one and place him on top, declaring they went for “ro tation in office.” In my own domicil, I found the voters (they are privileged characters,) had taken possession of every nook and comer, and -were snoring off the liquor they had swal lowed during the day. When X bad squeez'd in among’ them and fell into a half slumber, I imagined I was in Egypt, and the voters all turned to frogs, to punish me for treating. I could see them grow larger and larger, and all centred towards mo vrith hideous oroakings. One old fellow in particular, with a tremen dous bass voice, swelled to an enormous size and looked very savage and threatening. As he advanced towards me, my hair was erect with fear, and when he got so near that he breathed in my face, his breath smelt of whis ky, and I woke up, and there was old Downy right before me. He had come in from a pre cinct and been shouting a long time, he said, to wake me, for he was as “ dry as a powder house.” Tuesdiy Morning. —l learned I was a few votes behind, and when I inquired for my friend Bob, to my great mortification, I found he had got into a priminary and sloped. Some Whig boys had persuaded him to have a little spree, and they managed to get him so well corn’d that he slept too long, and about day* light they put the “ baker’s dozen” into a wa gon, run them out to a precinct, and a morning dram was sufficient to make them all vote the Whig ticket, and that turned the election against me, Thus my valuable services are lost to the country, and many important and serious con sequences may be brought about by “ jist one wagon load of drunkards.” BACKWOODS CANDIDATE.

XI qqq q q q A CURE OF BODY AND MIND. Philadelphia, Jan. 6th, 1846. Dr, D, Sir ; —Justice compels me to make the following statement of the extraordi-. nary effects of your valuable medicine—the ALi TF.RATIVE. 1 certify that ray wife was afflicted for fourteen years, during which time her disease baffled the skill of several eminent physicians, and after find ing that every means that were used failed to re* lieve her, I concluded to place her in the Pennsyl vania Hospital, hoping that with the care and treatr ment she would there receive from the physicians in that institution she might again be restored to health, But to my great disappointment she grew worse, and became 1 entirley deranged in her nund, and I was obliged to take her home again “ INCU* rable” and bereft of reason. I will here mention that at this, time the more prominent symp toms of her disease were Dyspepsia and Lives Complaiut, attended with sickness of the stomach, and vomiting of a very offensive foetid mucus, pains in the head, back and stomach, and in the region of the heart, with violent attacks of Colic, a troublesome cough from large quantities of phlegm in her throat, which kept her continually sagging find retching to throw it up. She had nq appetite, and was very weak. She also suffered very much from a uterine disease by which she was confined to her bedi Add to all the the deranged state of her mind, (which at this time was truly awful.) and you will be able to form some idea of her afflictions. By the advice of a friend we commenced gi*’ ing her your Alterative, in the doses of a tea spoonful three times a day, and found that it helped her. We also gave her your Vermifuge to increase her appetite, and the Sanative Pills toregulalejhef bowels. She had not taken two bottles of the Al terative, before iit operated upon her in a won derful manner, filling her face with small red pimples, and caused her to expectorate large quantities of corr-ption, before which, her breath was s« offensive we could not remain jn the room with her unless the doors were open. Findingthe Alterative doing her so much good, we in creased the dose according to the directions, and she continued to improve daily, until finally she WAS RESTORED to health, in boot AS well/ AS IN MIND .... ha. I hope you will delay no time in laying tm fore the public, as lam willing to be qualified . anytime to tfie truth of the above statement, that it was your Alterative which cured ner.
