A Mink under the Sea.—The following
description of a visit to Bottallack. Copper
Juine, in England, is from a work recently
published, entitled “ Rambles beyond Rail-
Roads.” In complete mining equipment,with
candles stuck, by lumps of clay to their felt
hats, the travellers have painfully descended,
by perpendicular ladders and along dripping
wet rock passages, fathoms down into pitchy
darkness; the miner who guides them calls
a halt , and their exact position with reference
to the surface of the “ terraqueous globe” is
I thus described:
« We are now four hundred yards out, un
der the bottom of the sea! and twenty fathoms,
or a hundred and twenty feet below the sea
level. Coast trade vessels are sailing over
our heads. Two hundred and forty feet be
neath us men are are at work, and there are
galleries deeper yet, even below that! The
extraordinary position down the face of tbe
cliff, of the engines and other works on the
surface, at Bottallack, is now explained. The
mine is not excavated like other mines, under
the land, but under the sea !”
Having communicated these particulars,
the miner next tells us to keep strict silence
and listen. We obey him, sitting speechless
and motionless. If the reader could only
have beheld us now, dressed in our eopper
'colored garments, huddled close together in a
mere cleft of subteranean rock, with a flame
burning on our heads and darkness envelop
ing our limbs —he must certainly have ima
gined, without any violent stretch of fancy,
that he was looking down upon a conclave of
J gnomes.
After listening for a few moments, a distant,
utl&nHhly noise becomes faintly audibly—a
long, low, mysterious moaning, that never
changes-'~fkat is felt on the ear as well as
heard by it—a sound that might proceed from
gome incalculable distance—from some far,
invisible height—a sound unlike any thing
that is heard on the upper ground, in the free
air of Heaven —a sound so sublimely mourn
ful and still, so ghoetly and impressive, when
listened to in the subterranean recesses of the
earth, that we continue, instinctively to hold
our peace, as if enchanted by it, and think
not of commnnieating to each other the
strange feeling and astonishment which it has
inspired in us both from the first.
At last the miner speaks again, and tells
us that what we hear is the sound of the surf
lashing the rocks a hundred and twenty feet
;above us, and of the waves that are breaking
on the beach beyond. The tide is now at the
flow, and the sea is in no extraordinary state
of agitation ; so the sound is low and distant
just at this period. But when storms are at
their height, when the'oeean hurls mountain
rafter mountain of water on the cliffs, then
the noise is terrific; the roaring heard down
Ihere in the mine is so inexpressibly tierce and
Awful, that the boldest men at work are afraid
.continue their labor—all ascend to the sur
face .to breathe the upper air and stand on the
firm
has ever .happened yet, that the sea will break
in on them they remain in the cavern be-
Hearing thu% we got U P to l°°k at rock
** I above us. We are a^e to stand upright in
the position we occupyand flaring our
candles hither ant? thither in the darkness,
can see the bright, P i.ue copper streaking the
gallery in every direction. Lumps ot ooze,
ot the most lustrous g. reen color, traversed
by natural net-work of th.'u red veins of iron,
appear here and there in large, irregular
over which water is Gripping slowly
»nd incessantly in certain places. - This is the
valt water percolating through invisible cran
nies in the rock. On stormy da>*B it spurts
out furiously in thin continuous streams. Just
over our heads we observe a wood pluj? of the
thickness of a man’s leg; there is a hole, and
the plug is all that we have to keep <out the
jea '• ...
Immense wealth of metal is contained in
tht' roof of this gallery, throughout its whole
leng th 5 ut remains, and will always re
main, untouched ; the iniuers dare not take
it, for i/ is P ar t, and a great part, of the rock
•which fo." ms their only protection against the
sea and *rhieh has been so far worked away
here that - its thickness is limited to an ave
rage of three feet only between the water and
ithe gallery in which we now stand. No one
Jknows what migh t be the cansequence of an
other day’s labor with the pickaxe on any
part of it.
South Carolina and she Federal Gov
i&NMENT.—A letter in the New York Herald,
dated 9th inst., gives the following intimation
of tbe course which the Federal Government
intends pursuing towards Carolina, in case
her people should persist in their determina
tion to secede from the Union;
“The news from South Carolina, although
iou3 in its import, does not excite alatm

of quicksilver, these States,when united

ELECTRIC WASHING FLUID,
For washing in hard or soft water.
f I'tHIS is tbe only genuine article to be found
JL in the world ; and possesses double the pow
er of any thing ever discovered for washing
clothes, at a trifling expense, doing away with
wash boards at once. In fact, it seems to be the
long sought Phi'osopher’s Stone, or universal sol
vent ; seeming a magical preparation, it* opera
tion being of the most astonishing character. A
common sized washing may be done with one gill
of this Fluid, in less than two hours. It softens
and removes the dirt, leaving the articles of the
most brilliant whiteness. It being as harmless in
its operations as pure water, and clothing will
wear mueh longer than when iubbed to pieces by
the common method of washing.
This Fluid is a powerful agent, to be used in all
cases where soap is required, particularly for
cleansing milk utensils, cleaning windows and
paint, scouring floors; in short, it is beyond a pre
cedent, as its use is universal in the washing world.

GEORGIA SARSAPARILLA,
PREPARED BY
J. DENNIS, M. D., AUGUSTA, GA.
FOR DISEASES of the Liver and to purify
the Blood.
Dr. D. has made his preparation as pure as pos
sible. Its bitter taste corresponding with the
taste ot thejroots, proves its purity. Its beneficial
effects in diseases el the Liver prove it to be the
most useful preparation of Sarsaparilla that is
made.
The prevalence of diseases in the Southern cli
mate, arising from an inactive state of the Liver,
and the effect of this Sarsaparilla in stimulating
the Liver to increased action, causing by its alte
rative and mildly purgative effect the removal of
morbific agents from the Blood, have induced the
Proprietor to use the pure Sarsaparilla and noth
ing else in this preparation.
For other diseases Physicians using this prepa
ration in thair practice can combine, or prescribe
with it such articles as they may consider the most
appropriate in cases under their treatment.
As those who use the Georgia Sarsaparilla and
find benefit from its use—recommending it. to
others, and the fast increasing demand, proves that
the labors of the Proprietor to make a good article
have been duly apprecia f ed by Southern people,
there isjno need of publishing certificates, North
ern preparations should not be used in the South,
unless they are made freer of sweetened water
and other things than they have been.

PROF. A. C. BARRY'S TRICOPHE
ROUS,
OR MEDICATED COMPOUND.
INFALLIBLE for renewing, invigorating and
beautifying the HAIR, removing the scurf,
dandruff, and all affections of the scalp, and curing
eruptions on the skin, diseases of the glands*, mus
cles and integuments, and relieving stings, cuts,
bruises, sprains, <&c. With this preparation ‘‘there
is no such word as fail.’’ The first journals in
America, medical men of the highest eminence,
prominent citizens of all professions, and ladies
who have used it for years in their dressing rooms
and nurseries, admit with one accord, that for im
parting vige , gloss, luxuriance and curl to the
hair, eradicating scurf and dandruff, healing
wounds, <*uring contusions, sprains, stings, &c.,
and relieving diseases of the skin, the glands and
the muscles,ii has no equal among the multitude
of compounds advertised in the public prints, or
used in private practice. In cheapness as well as
efficacy, Barry’s Tricopherous is unrivalled The
immense cash sales ot the article have enabled
the inventor to supply it at retail, at 25 cents per
bottle, which is from 50 to 100 per cent less than
the price of any other preparation for the hair now
in use. The scientific treatise on the hair and the
skin, (embracing valuable directions for tbe cul
ture and preservation of Nature’s choicest orna
ment,) in which each bottle is enclosed, is alone
worth the money.
The affinity between the membranes which con
stitute the skin, and the hair which draws its sus
enance from this triple envelope is very close.—
All diseases of the hair originate in the skin of the
head. If the pores of the scalp are clogged, or if
the blood and other fluids do not circulate freely
through the smau , essels which feed the root with
moisture, and impart to the fibres, the result is
scurf, dandruff, shedding of the hair, graveness,
dryness and harshness ol the ligaments, and entire
baldness, as the case maybe. .Stimulate the skin
to healthful action with the Tricopberous, and the
torpid vessels, recovering their activity, will anni
hilate tlie disease. In all affections of the skin,
and of the substrata of muscles and integuments,
the process and the effect are the same. It is
upon the skin, the muscular fibre, and the glands,
that the Tricopherous has its specific action, and
in all affections and injury of these organs, it is a
sovereign remedy.

of this l-eneratiou, is -one whose fame will
be written, as with a sunbeam, in the history of
the past. SANDS’ SARSAPARILLA stands
forth alone, and by its own works proclaims its
power—that mute eloquence so irresistibly effect
ing in tbe appeals of the suffering for releil, has
been answered. Thousands of cases of disease
have been cured by this invaluable medicine, such
as are not furnished in the records of time. These
things are riot done iu secret places, or iu some
unknown town, but are perfor.ned in our princi
pal cities and public places. t They are brought
before the world to substantiate, beyond doubt, the
healing virtues of this preparation ; and the facts
unfolded, although gigantic, are as plain as the
light of day.
The Saisaparilla Is combined with the most ef
fectual aide, the most salutary productions, the
most potent simples of the vegetable* kingdom ;
and its unprecedented success in the restoration
to health of those who had long pined under the
most distressing chronic maladies, has given it an
exalted character—furnishing, as it does,evidence
of its own intrinsic value, andrecom rending it to
the afflicted in terms the afflicted only can know.
It has long been a most important desideratim in
the practice of medicine, to obtain a remedy sim
ilar to this—one that would act on the liver, stom
ach, and botcels with all the precision and potency
of mineral preparations, yet without any of their
deleterious effects upon the vital powers of the
system Although possessed of powerful healing
properties, it is entirely harmless, and will not in
jure the most delicate constitution. When in par
fect health, no effect is produced by its use, ex
cept an increase of appetite ; but when disease to
seated in the frame, and carrying fast its victim
along the path of life, then its mysterious influ
ence is felt and seen ; it enkindles new life and
vigor, and brings health and strength to the suffer
ing and diseased.
SCROFULOUS AFFECTION OF THE EYES.
Winchester, Ky , Oct. 29, 1849.
A. B. & D. Sands — Gentlemen: I would not
have presumed to write to you, if it was not my
duty to let the public know the almost miraclous
effect your Sarsaparilla has had upon me. My
limbs were covered wittf ulcerous sores, so that I
could not walk during ihe whole spring and sum
mer. In this situation I commenced the use of
your Sarsaparilla, and after taking two bottles w as
entirely cured. I must al o tell you of another
wonderful cure. My brother was afflicted with
this scrofula in his herd, so bad his physician told
him tbe loss of his sight was inevitable, and
anent blindness seemed to be his fate. Three bot
tles entirely restored his sight, and we cannot but
recommend all similarly afflicted to use Sands’
Sarsaparilla. Yours truly.

Messrs. Sands — Gentlemen: 1 consider it a du
ty due the public to make known the great bene
fit I have received from using your valuable Sar
saparilla. About three years since 1 was attack
ed with Rheumatism in my shoulders, and also in
my legs, and so severe was the pain, that I was
unable to sleep. 1 tried all of the best medicines
I could hear of without receiving any benefit uu
til through the advice of a friend 1 procured some
of your Sarsaparilla, and after using four bottles
in the course of fifteen days I found myself en
tirely well. I have no hes tation in saying your
Sarsaparilla is the best medicine I ever took, and
can confidently recommend it to my friends and
the public. Your obedient servant.

Here is another, nearer home :
New York, Jan. Bth, 1850.
Messrs. Sands — Gentlemen: I have great plea
sure in acknowledging to you the great benefit 1
have received from the use of your Sarsaparilla.
A subject of pulmonary disease, 1 made a voyage
to Europe, but while there continued to be afflict
ed. A few we#ks after my return, 1 was seized
with a violent hemorrhage of the lungs, and from
the debility and great prostration of strength that
followed, with tbe pretracted difficulty of respira
tion, 1 am entirely relieved by the use of your
Sarsaparilla, which 1 cousider a most important
and truly valuable discovery in the heating art.-
J feel that I have not for fourteen years enjoyed
so good health as at present.
Yery gratefully yours, S. E. SEYMORE.
