BY JAMES GARDNER, Jr.] 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 |j erfc . The government, course, cannot re <coem 8e the right ot secession. Like globules of quicksilver, these States,when united by the federal constitution, formed one glori ous whok* —retaining then local organization, but yielding to the general government all other existence. —The government, should s Carolina forcibly secede, and she can in no other way, will not take cogni > of masses or State .organizations, but of fnruirt *uais, who * iH * ®eP‘ iratel y be dealt with “Tt -ers of the law, or as guilty of treason, 11 tip pL ' e be - Tbc -^ ißtrict Attorney of South C ’arolinais now' hen', receiving full Os «• . 7 dao. in the N Y.

NORTH AMERICAN 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.

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.

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.

For the removal and permanent cure of all diseases arising from an IMPURE STATE OF THE BLOOD, OR HABIT OF THE SYSTEM* AMONG the mauy and important discoveries 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. BENJAMIN F. BUCKNER. ITS POULARITY ABROAD. From South America. Maracaibo, Venezuela, April 12th, 1849. 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. J. M. JESURUN. 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.
