Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
Washington, February 23,
The unfinished business of the morning hour,
in the House, was the roport from the Select
Committee on the Public Lands. The question
pending was the motion of Mr. Robertson to re
commit the report, with instructions to report a
joint resolution authorizing a distribution of the
public domain among the several States.
Mr. Yell, being entitled to the floor, said he was
willing to waive his right, until after the reference
of some Senate bills on the Speaker’s table.
A number of bills from the Senate were then
taken up read twice, and referred. On coming to
the bill providing for the armed occupation of
Florida, a motion being made to refer it to the
Committee on Military Affairs.
Mr. Robertson moved to lay it on the table. He
gave his reasons for the motion, which were, that
would be an indirect mode of increasing the
regular army, and would have the effect of lower
ing the price of the public lands in Florida.
Mr. Stanley moved a call of the House, which
■was ordered and proceeded in until 88 members
answered to their names. All further proceed
ings in the call were then suspended.
The question was then taken on the motion to
lay on the table, and it was negatived, yeas 01,
nays 94.
The question then recurring on the motion to
refer to the Committee on Military Affairs.
Mr. Robertson moved to amend by referring dif
ferent portions of the bill to three committees.
Pending this motion the House passed to the
orders of the day.
The General Appropriation Bill was taken up
and long political speeches were made upon it by
Mr. James Garland, Mr. Underwood, and Mr.
Halstead.
A strong disposition was manifested to set out
the bill, in Committee, and bring it into the
House. The orators were not listened to, and the
members went home got their dinner, comforta
bly, took an extra glass, and came back well pro
vided with surtouts, cloaks, caps, &c. for a night
session—for our nights are damp aud_cold.
The Senate, to-day, debated the bill to provide
a territorial government foe the Western Indians,
and it was opposed, partly on the ground that we
had no more right to establish a territorial gov
ernment over them than they had over us. But
they ordered the bill to bo engrossed.
The bill establishing a Board of Claims was
also ordered to he engrossed.

Novel Law Suit.
The Boston Advertiser of the 13th says, tha t
an action was lately tried at New Haven, in the
■preme Court of Connecticut, in which the
plaintiff, who had been a resident in the State
Alabama, in the capacity of a clerk, demanded
damages against the defendant for having written
a letter addressed to the Postmaster of the place
where the plaintiff resided, informing him that
the plaintiff was a violent abolitionist, and advising
the people of the place to treat him as lie deserved,
intimating that a coat of tar and feathers would
not be amiss; in consequence of which letter the
plaintiff was put in danger of personal injury
and was driven from the State to the injury of his
business. The writing and receipt of the letter
were proved,but the evidence of actual injury
I therefrom w»; not conclusive. The jury could
I Hot agree on a verdict.
I A correspondent of the Boston Atlas, writing
I fi-oni Coopcrstown, says, that the Grand Jury of
I ..-ego county, have found a true bill of indict-
IClient against James M atson Webb, for a libel on
■ Mr. J. F. Cooper, and that the case will come up
■ for trial some time in April,

I The following proclamation on this subject has
■been issued by Sir John Harvey, and perhaps
■gives the best insight we could have into the views
■of jtlie Colonial authorities on this troublesome
■ question i
X A PROCLAMATION.
■ Whereas, I have received information that a
Btrfft- of armed persons, to the number of two
or more, have invaded a portion of this
■Province, under the jurisdiction of Her Majesty’s
the neighboring Sta'o of Maine,
JSr the professed object of exercising authority.
Hid driving off persons stated to be cutting Tim
*Br thereon ; and that divers other persons have, |
fSithout any legal authority, taken up arms with
intention of resisting such invasion and out
|Sge, and have broken open certain stores in |
Bloodstock, in which arms and ammunition, be- ;
Bilging to Her Majesty, were deposited, and have
H
taken the same away for that purpose.—l do here
by charge ami command all persons concerned in
such illegal acts, forthwith to return the arms and
ammunition, so illegally taken, to their place of
deposite, as the Government of the Province will
take care to adopt all necessary measures for re
sisting any hostile invasion or outrage that may be
attempted upon any part of Her Majesty’s terri
tories or subjects.
And I do hereby charge and command all Ma
gistrates, Sheriffs, and other Dili cers, to be vigilant
in aiding and assisting the apprehension of all per
sons so offending, and to bring them to justice.
And in order to aid and assist the civil power in
that respect, if necessary, I have ordered a suffi
cient military force to proceed forthwith to the
place where those outrages are represented to have
been committed, as well to repel foreign invasion,
as to prevent the illegal assumption of arms by
her Majesty’s subjects in this province.
And further, in order to be prepared, if neces
sary, to call in the aid of the constitutional militia
force of the country, I do hereby charge and com
mand the officers commanding the first and second
battalions of the militia of the county of Carlcton,
forthwith to proceed us the law directs, to the
drafting of a body of men, to consist of one-fourth
of the strength of each of these battalions, to be
in readiness for actual service, should occasion re
quire.

Paten of Sugar.— No circumstance can af
ford better evidence of the deranged state of the
•money market, than the present low price of Su
gar. It is true, that the backwardness of the sea
-son, and the consequent low stage of the upper
waters, have a considerable hearing on the price
■of this article. Vet this alone does not sufficient
ly .account for the fact, that prime Sugar is at
■present quoted only A fair estimate of the
amount of Sugar now in Louisiana, would make
the amount sixty thousand hogsheads. It may
with great certainty, be calculated that the West,
including all the States supplied by the Mississip
pi river and its tributaries, will require the whole
of this quantity; perhaps more; for this whole re
gion is acknowledged on all hands to be perfectly
bare—they have not a hogshead on hand. Can
it be denied, then, that with a certain market for
their whole stock in the Wcit—with the fairest
prospect of an increasing demand in the East and
the North, —that in a very short time there must,
necessarily, be a considerable augmentation in the
price of this article. Why, then, does the article
remain at the present low quotation 1 It cannot,
certainly, he owing to any mistrust of the future :
tt can only he attributed to the present compress
ed state of the money market. No doubt a rapid
improvement is about tooccur in this department
of affairs. Wc can, therefore, venture to exhort
sugar laoiders to patience and firmness—let them
make no sacrifice; they may depend upon higher
prices.—A’. 0. Bulletin.
A bill to incorporate a company for the purpose

Singular Case. —The Boston Post of yester
day stales Chat Parmcnus Huntoon was lately com
mitted to the jail of Burlington, Vt. charged with
purloining money from the Post Office at Essex.
While in prison he swallowed a pill containing
120 grains of opium. This was on Tuesday even
ing, and the next morning ho was found in a state
of insensibility.
He continued in this state till the next Friday
evening, a number of medical gentlemen exerting
their whole skill to revive him in the interim, but
to no purpose. At last, one of them, a Ur. Heine
berg, by adopting a leaf from the practice of the
renowned Sangrado, succeeded in restoring Hun
toon to life. By using the warm bath, scarifier,
and cupping glass, the Doctor was enabled to
draw eighteen ounces of blood from the region of
the cerebellum, upon which the patient opened
his eyes, rose up and called for water. He had
been dead, to all intents and purposes, for four
days, and when questioned on the subject, said he
recollected taking a pill of opium lust night. He
is now in a fairway to recover entirely from the
effects of his potent dose.
The Florida Wreckers. —The South Flo
ridan of the 12th January, published a Key West,
gives a particular statement of the results of the
wrecking business at that port, during the year
1838, by which it appears that that branch oftradc
is not always as profitable as most people usually
imagine it to bo. It seems that during the year
there were kept upon an average, ready for effi
cient service, twenty vessels of little short of 100
tons burthen, manned with ten men each. By
the custom of the trade, the owners furnish and
victual the vessel, and draw one half of the sal
vage. The other half is divided among the cap
tain, mate ami crew, in lieu of wages, (in the
same manner that our whaling business is carried
on,) the master drawing three shares, the mate
two. and the crew one each. Tne expenses to the
owners of these twenty vessels for the year was
540.400, and the total amount of salvage received
by them during the same period, was but $14,250,
leaving a deficiency 0f52(i,150. The total amount
of salvage recovered having been but $28,500, the
remaining half divided amongst the crew, gave to
each of them only the following small amount for
the year, viz:
Each captain $156 21

The Executions. —With the exception o*
Narbonne, there was hut little bodily suffering’
hut owing to his having only one hand, the right,
it was not secured by the wrist in the same man
ner as were the others, behind the back, but the
arm was tied to his side, and he managed to raise
his hand to the rope and displace it. His feet
fell on the balustrade of the drop under the gal
lows, and he firmly grasped an iron bar, by which
means he managed to support himself, and acted
as if he was in full .lossession of his faculties.
The rope was then properly adjusted, his feet re
moved from the balustrade, and in a few minutes
his sufferings were at an end. The whole of
these five individuals were very active, both be
fore and during the rebellion, and De Lorimicr in
particular was, like John M’Donnell the advocate,
in this city, the principal dispenser of the secret
oaths about Beauharnois and the neighborhood.
Like M’Donncll, also, he was considered quiet and
inoffensive, though not loyal, was consequently
unsuspected and enabled to do more extensive in
jury on that account. He was formerly a notary
in this city. One of Do Lorimier’s sisters was a |
spectator ofthe execution, and fainted when the !
drop fell. She was carried to a cariole and taken |
into a house.
From the Friendship's Offering, for 1839.
The Convict’s Bride.
BT ELIZA WALKER.
It was a dark dreary morning, in the December
ot 178—. The ground was covered with snow,
and the bleak wind was howling in terrific gusts
through the streets. Vet despite the inclemency
ot the weather, crowds of persons of all classes,
and amongst them many of the weaker sex, might
be seen hurrying towards the Place dc Greet. It
was the morning appointed for the execution of
Victor d’AuUigny.
The circumstances which had called for this ex
piation of life at the alter of justice are briefly as
follows, —and, blended with the strong love of ex
citement, so universal amongst the French, ac
count in some degree, for the eager curiosity dis
cernible in the multitude, now hastening to the
awful spectacle of a fellow creature, in the full
flush ot health and strength, being plunged into
the gulf of an unknown eternity.
I he crime tor which Victor d’Aubigny was
doomed to suffer was forgery. Remonstrances,
petitions, interest, all had been tried to avert the
fatal penalty, Tile offence was one of frequent
occurrence, and must be cheeked even at the cost
ly sacrifice of human life. Victor d’Aubigny pos
sessed the distinction of having, up to the period
of his crime, bore a blameless character. From
their earliest youth, a close intimacy had subsisted
between himself arid Auguste do Biron. Similar
ity of age and pursuit—both being intended for
the army—united them more than congeniality
of disposition; for the warm generosity of Victor
bore little resemblance to the cold, suspicious, vin
dictive nature of Auguste. They were alike on
ly in their pursuit of pleasure, though even in the
prosecution of this, the taste of each took a differ
ent bias. The strong and feverish excitement of
the gaming table too well suited the eager tem
perament of Victor, He who, in the midst of the
most profligate capital of the world, had strength
to resist all other allurements, fell a ready prey to
that vice, whose fatal indulgence has often paved
the way for the commission ot almost every crime.
Auguste on the other hand, shunning the daz
zling salons of play, was a nightly visitant of the
metropolitan theatres—not to enjoy the wit of Mo
here, or the genius of Racine, but to watch the
airy movements of some figurante in the ballet.
As they advanced to manhood, the success of d’
Aubigny in society called perpetually into play
the evil passions of his companion, whose feelings
gradually changed from friendship to dislike, and
deepened into hatred implacable and bitter, on the
refusal of his hand by a lady, who assigned, as the
reason, a mad, though unreturned passion, for his
friend. Auguste controlled his resentment out
wardly, and left Paris.
Victor, at this period, was betrothed to a love
ly but portionless girl, and the day for the nuptials
was fixed. A few evenings previous, he entered
one of the gambling establishments with which
Paris abounds. Enough; he was tempted to play,
and in a short time found himself a loser to double
the amount of all the ready money he could com
mand. He rushed from the house in a state of
frenzy. The money must be paid on the follow
lowingday. To whom could he apply 1 Auguste,
who might have assisted him, was in England,
whither he had gone to bo present at the debut of
a celebrated danseuse. He suddenly recollected
that his friend had left a large sum at his banker’s.
Forgetful in the desperation of the moment, of
every thingbut escape, from present embarrassment,
he forged a cheque for the sum required. It was
duly honored—but his doom was sealed. He in
stantly wrote to apprise Dc Biron of what he had
: done, pleading, in mitigation, that they had often
■ shared the same purse, and binding himself to re
' turn the money at the soonest possible period. IVo
reply was given to this letter. Time flew on
ward—the day for his marriage arrived. The so-
I lemnity was over, when, as the party were leaving
. the church, D’Aubigny was arrested on the charge
of forgery 1
1 The trial and condemnation rapidly succeeded,
• and the day of execution dawned too soon.
. Victor met his death calmly and resignedly. But
i it is not with him our tale has to do, —it is with
f her, the beautiful, the bereaved one, —with Isabelle
1 d’Aubigny, the convict’s bride. From the period
1 when the promulgation of his sentence rung in
r her ears, to that moment when the fatal axe fell
! on the throat of its victim, nor sign, nor tear, nor
! word, had escaped her. Every faculty seemed
i suspended by misery. The last, long embrace of
her husband—the wild choking sob which burst
from him, as she left his cell the night prior to his
execution—the thousand frantic passionate kisses
which ho showered on her marble face at the foot
\ of the scaffold, all failed to dissolve the trance of
! grief into which she had fallen. But the moment
of awakening agony came at last! When the
guillotine had done its office, and the body of her
Victor lay dead and bleeding before her—sorrow,
asserting its omnipotent sway over humanity,
shivered the feeble barriers of temporary uncon
sciousness, and let the imprisoned mind free to
contemplate the ruin of its only earthly hopes, the
extinction of all youth’s sweetest visions.
Vainly the friends who surrounded Isabelle
strove to tear her from the body of Victor. There
was fascination in the gaze, though horror was
blended in it. Her own, her beautiful, lay a mu
tilated corse before her, —he whom she had loved
with an absorbing intensity, which would have
defied time to lessen, circumstances to change—
with whom she had hoped to journey through ex
istence, partner of his pleasures, soother of his
griefs. And now she was alone and desolate 1
Then, indeed, did she feel, that fate had levelled
its deadliest weapon; and henceforth every hour
was stamped with stern, unchanging, dreary des
pair. Great misfortunes either strengthen or en
feeble the mind. When the grave had closed over
the body of Victor, Isabelle—the weak, the timid,
the gentle Isabelle—returned to her lonely hearth
a calm, stern, determined woman. • •
All the elite of Milan were gathered together
in the magnificent theatre of La Scala. Beauty
lent its attraction, rank its patronage, and fashion
its influence, to grace the farewell benefit of “La
Florinda,” the unrivalled danseuse, the boast of
Italy, the idol of the Milanese.
It is not an easy task to rouse an English audi
ence into a furor of ersfaej : an Italian one is
composed of matcrit tof a more inflammable na
ture ; and demonstrations which would seem to us
extravagant and absurd, only appear to them a
meet homage to genius. To-night their wonted
enthusiasm received, at least, double impetus, from
the consciousness that it was the last testimony
they could afford of their appreciation of the con
summate skill and loveliness of the fair creature
before them. The ensuing week would see her
united to a wealthy noble, and this night witness
her parting obeisance to an audience, of whom all |
the men were her worshippers, and even the wo- I
men her partizans and admirers. The curtain I
rose, anil certainly the appearance of the heroine |
ot the evening was warranty enough for the burst
of rapturous applause which followed. Her form,
itself of the most faultless symmetry, acquired ad
ditional captivation from the display and costli
ness permitted by theatrical costume. Her face,
too, was one of surpassing beauty. Large deep
blue eyes, waves of the glossiest hair, and a skin
>t that clear transparent whiteness, which shews
with such dazzling effect at night—all these at
tractions were in themselves enough to fascinate
the sight. Hut there was that about “La Flo
rinda, which interested the feelings fully as much.
1 he dreamy melancholy of her profound and pas
sionate eyes—the entire repose of all her features
—the extraordinary expression about the small
cherub mouth, which seemed formed for love and
dimples, yet which none had ever seen relax into
a smile—this it was which lent such witchery to
her beauty, and threw around her a kind of mys
terious charm, even amidst the glare and frivolity
with which she was surrounded.
On this her last evening of public existence, all
was done that could render her exit triumphant.
The stage was literally filled with bouquets Hung
at her feet, accompanied by many a valuable and
less perishing testimony to her worth and talent.
\V hen she made her farewell acknowledgements,
each felt a pang of regret at parting with one so
lovely and gifted, and many a bright eye was tilled
with tears—yet she, the cause, alone remained
unmoved. There was gratitude in the graceful
bowing ot the head, and the meek folding of her
hands on her bosom—hut the face was calm and
impassive as ever. The curtain fell amidst an
outbreak of such feeling, as shook the very walls
of La Seala to their foundation, and Florinda was
seen there no more.
• ♦ * * »
“ Now pray, Signora, on tiiis your wedding-day,
do look as if you were happy. Heigho! if I
were so beautiful, beloved, too, by the Marchcsc,
I should he smiling all day long.”
“My good Rosalia, I have long forgotten to
smile or weep. In truth, poor child, you have
had hut a wearisome life, in attending on one in
whose bosom the pulse of joy hath forever stop
“O say not so, Signora; all the girls in Milan
would he glad to wait on so kind, so gracious, so
gentle a mistress, —ay, and so pretty a one too.
For when I am braiding those long tresses, or fas
tening the sandals on your tiny feet, I feel quite
proud in being permitted to serve I,a Florinda,
who, all Milan says, has borrowed the face and
form of the famous Venus at Florence.”
“ Fie on thee, child, I would chide thee for this
flattery, hut that an unkind word ever semis fool
ish tears into thine eyes. Hut hasten, Rosalia,
the time wears on. Give my my veil, and leave
me,”
The attendantdid as she was bidden, and Flo
rinda was alone. For a while she sat in deep
meditation, her small hands clasped upon her brow,
as if to still the tumult offeclings rushing through
her brain. The day at length had come for
which she had patiently waited for years; for
which she had devoted herself to a profession she
abhorred, and toiled in it laboriously and cease
lessly—and nourished a life she would otherwise
have allowed the mildew of grief to corrode and
destroy. The hour was at hand, when the one
purpose of her existence was to be realized—the
long recorded vow fulfilled. The near accom
plishment of her wishes gave to the check of Flo
rinda a (lush of crimson, deep as the sunset of
summer, and lit up her lustrous eyes with al
most unearthly brightness. As she contempla
ted herself in the mirror, arrayed in all the cosily
magnificence of bridal attire, vanity for a moment
preponderated; but it was a transient weakness.
Ah instant more—the brow resumed its look ol
calm, stern determination—the beautiful mouth
its compressed rigidity. Having adjusted the
orange wreath on her temples, and arranged the
drapery of the long delicate veil, whose snowy
folds enveloped her form from head to foot, slit
entered the conservatory adjoining her chamber,
and taking from it a bouquet of Ihe choicest (low
ers, awaited the arrival of her bridesmaids and
friends. In a few minutes the expected gucsta
assembled, and the party proceeded to thcchurch
of St. Ambrose. The nuptial rites were perform
ed, and Florinda was greeted as La Maichcsu di
Vivaldi.
The Marchcsc gently passing his arm around
her waist, would fain have folded her to Ids bo
som. A quick shudder, that seemed to convulse
every limb, passed over her.
“ My beautiful love looks pale.”
“ ’Tig nothing,—a sudden faintness. I culled
these flowers for you, your favorite heliotrope is
there—take then—you will not, surely, refuse
your bride’s first gift 1”
The Marchess took the bouquet presented,
pressed them passionately to his lips, inhaled
their fragrance, mid fell at the feet of Florinda a
lifeless corpse.
A wild, unnatural peal of laughter from the
Murchcsa, pealed through the church. “It is
well—it is well! V'ictor, my beloved, thou art
avenged. Now I will join thee.”
Uttering these words, she took from beneath
the folds of her dress a small poniard, and buried
it to (lie hilt in her breast.
The bride and the bridegroom lay dead togeth
er !
On searching her desk, a paper was found ex
planatory of the catastrophe. It is scarcely ne
ecss iry to say that “La Florinda” was the name
assumed by Isabelle d’Aubigny. In the record
left of her motives and actions, she stated that af
ter the execution of Victor, she made a solemn
vow to become hi-; avenger. For this purpose
her first aim was to captivate De Hiron’s heart.
As the widow of Victor she might fail in this.
■She was aware that he was a passionate admirer
of dancing. Through the agency of that accom
plishment, Rupcraddcd to her beauty of person,
she hoped to ensnare his affections. Her first
step was to become the pupil of the most celebra
ted master of the day, ami by dint of unremitting
toil, she soon qualified herself for public exhibi
tion. She resolved to appear in Italy, to which
country Auguste do Hiron had retired, to escape
the strong manifestations of dislike w hich, after
the execution of Victor dc’Aubigny, followed
him whenever ho entered society at Paris. He
was also the heir to a title and considerable es
tates in the Ahruzzi. The death of a near rela
tive soon put him in possession of these, and lie
became the Marchcsc di Vivaldi. At this period
Florinda, who was cognizant of all that betel him,
made her dehut at Naples. All Italy soon rung
with her fame—and she was offered an engage
ment at La Seala. She accepted it—appeared—
became the idol of the public—and soon the ob
ject ofher revenge bowed at her feet a suppliant
for her love —a suitor for her hand. She accepted
him. It was at the altar’s fool her adored Victor
had been torn from her arms ; it should be at the.
aller’s foot the expiatory sacrifice should he made
—his murderer destroyed. She procured from
the Fast a deadly poison, the simple inhalation
of which produces abrupt and certain death. Kv
cry flower in the bouquet was steeped in the dead
ly essence. Its effects have been narrated—and
thus, by one of those frightful transitions, which
circumstances accomplish in human destiny, wl ere
the restraining influence of fixed religious princi
ples is absent, Isabelle, once loving and irresolute,
become a murderess and a suicide.

to Rived, Texas.—The Galveston Civilian of ]
the 18th Jan. has the following horrid narrative: I
h ( apt. Clius. Wilson, of the schr “C. W.” was
found on the 12th inst. in the San Jacinto river,
' “ bouttt » lile and n half below Lynchhurgh, mur
wT *° the anchor of his vessel.
” ™° file jury were holding an inquest over the
body, the *•('. W.” came by the spot, and was
stopped. She was found in possession of Win.
Anderson, alias Win. A. Dunbar. Ho stated
that ho purchased her of one Jamieson, then at
(lalvcston. Anderson was arrested and detained
’ at Lynchburg, and Jamieson has since been ar
rested in this city. The circumstances are against
both individuals.
About three weeks ago, Jamieson borrowed a '
spade ot Mrs. Taylor,just above Lynchhurgh, and ;
’ dug a hole in t briar-patch resembling a grave.
| He, however, left without making any use of it; j
and it is supposed that it was meant for Capt.
AN ilson, hut that he abandoned the idea of using \
’ it, inconsequence of the difficulty of getting the j
' corps to it.
Anderson was subsequently met in a small
boat, by some oystermen below Lynchhurgh,
u,,< l ll h°n being hailed by them, denied that name,
I I'.v which he had been previously known, and
kept out of their way, thus exciting their suspi
cion that something was wrong.
Upon his arrival here, Jamieson exhibited con
siderable sums of money, although he had previ
ously been quite destitute. Capt. Wilson was
known to have had a large amount. He was a
| native ol Switzerland, had no friends in the coun
try, and was but little known, and ho confined
’ himself closely to his vessel, and lived an austere
i and parsimonious life.

LOUIS OFFON GOELICKE,
of Germany,
The Greatest of Human Benefactors.
! Citizens of North and South America,
1 To Louis Offon Goeucke, M. D., of Germany,
, [Europe,] belongs the imperishable honor of adding
r a new and precious doctrine to the science of medi
\ cine—a doctrine which, though vehemently opposed
by many of the faculty, (of which he is a valuable
member,) be proves to be as well founded in truth
■ as any doctrine of Holy Writ—a doctrine, upon the
t verity of which arc suspended the lives of millions
1 of our race, and which lie boldly challenges his op
posers to refute, viz: Consumption is a disease al
ways occasioned by a disordered state of Vis Vita:
(or Life Principle) of the human body: (TV often
secretly lurking in the system for years before
there is the least complaint of the Lungs —and
which may be as certainly, though not so quickly,
cured, as a common cold or a simple headache. An
invaluably precious doctrine this, as it imparts an
important lesson to the apparently healthy of both
sexes, teaching them that Ibis insidious foe may
be an unobserved inmate of their “ clayey houses”
even while they imagine themselves secure from
its attacks, teaching them tha Uhe great secret inthe
art of preserving health is top!ark out the disease
when in the blade, and not wait till the full grown
ear.
This illustrious benefactor of man is also entitled
to youi unfeigned gratitude, and the gratitude of a
| world, for the invention of his matchless Sanative,
' —whose healing fiat may justly claim for it such » I
title, since it has so signally triumphed over our
great common enemy, (£j- Consumption, both in
the first ami last stages, —a medicine which has
thoroughly filled the vacuum in the Materia Medica,
and thereby proved itself the QjT Conqueror of Phy

will have abundant cause to bless the beneficent
hand ot a kind I’rovidencc, —a medicine, whoso
wondrous virtues have been so glowingly pourtray

A certificate from three members of the Medical
Profession in Germany, in Europe.
We, the undersigned, practitioners of medicine
in Germany, are well aware that, by our course,
we may forfeit the friendship of some of the facul
ty , but not of its benevolent members, who are un
influenced by selfish motives. Though we shall
refrain from an expression of our opinion, either
of the soundness or unsoundness of Dr. Goelick’s
new doctrine, we are happy to say that we deem
his Sanative ton valuable not to be generally
known—for what our eyes behold and our fears
hear, we must believe.
We hereby state, that when Dr. Louis Often
(loeliek first came before the German public, as
the pretended discoverer of a new doctrine and a
new medicine, we held him in the highest con
tempt, believing and openly pronouncing him to bn
a base impostor and the prince of quacks. Hut, on
hearing so much said about the Sanative, against it
and for it, we were induced, from motives of curi
osity merely, to make trial of its reputed virtues
upon a number of our most hopeless patients; and
we now deem it our bounden duty (even at the
expense of self-interest) publicly to acknowledge
its efficacy in curing not only consumption, but
other fearful maladies, which we have heretofore
believed to be incurable. Our contempt for the
discoverer of this medicine was at once swallowed
up in our utter astonishment at these unexpected
results ; and, as amends for our abuse of him, we
do frankly confess to the world, that we believe
him a philanthropist, who does honor to the profes
skn, and to our country, which gave him birth.
The recent adoption of this medicine into some
of our European hospitals, is a sulficicnt guaranty
that it performs all promises. It needed not our
testimony, for wherever it is used it is its own best
witness. 11 HUMAN ETMULLER, m. d.

It appears by the following information given to
e the public by Dr. Rowland, that the much talked of
Matchless Sanative is indeed what it professes to
be —an effectual and valuable medicine, worthy the
’ serious attention of every consumptive person, and
, -the sick generally.
MATCHLESS SANATIVE.— David S. Row
1-and, the General American Agent for this mighty
I medicine, (invented by the immortal Ouelieke of
I Germany ) lias great pleasure in publishing the fol
lowing highly important letter from a respectable
I gentleman in New-York, which he has received,
with many others of a similarcharacter—also very
interesting intelligence from several of his Agents,
as will be seen below—which, together with the
certificate from three eminent German physicians,
must forever establish the character of the Sanative
as being without a parallel in the history of medi
cine.
Testimony No.- I.
A letter from 11. F. Sherwood, Esq., of Ncw-York.
£) Q £)■ £J 9
New-Yokk, Oct. !), 1837.
Dr. I). S. Rowland, —Sir: About the middle of
July last, 1 accidentally noticed in a newspaper the
advertisement of the Matchless Sanative, for which
1 perceived you were agent, and which professed
to be a sovereign remedy for consumption.
As my wife was then fast wasting away with
this dreadful disease, and as our family physician
was daily and anxiously endeavoring to restore her
to health without success, I stepped over to his
house, and asked him if he had any objections to
her taking this medicine. He replied that “he was
perfectly willing Mrs. Sherwood should take that or
any other medicine she might choose,buthe thought
it could do her no good, as her lungs were rapidly
consuming, and no human means could save
her.” Still, the Sanative, being recommended by
three physicians who had used it in their practice,
she concluded to give it a trial. 1 sent and pur
chased a phial which she commenced taking tlircc
times a day, giving a free indulgence to her appe
tite according to the directions. Jiy pursuing this
course, she suffered considerably for the first eight
or ten days, but was shortly able to cat and drink
freely, without the last inconvenience.
Within four weeks from her first using the med
icine, her feeble health and wasted form began to
pot on new stre'gth, and she has been galningfrom
day to day until the present moment, to the utter
astonishment of our family physician and friends.—
She is now enjoying a comfortable (though notper
fect) state of health, is able to be about house and
attend church.
Mrs. Sherwood and myself arc both fully of
opinion, and so are all who know her remarkable
ease, that she owes her live to the Sanative atone:
and as there are probably many consumptive per
sons in the United States, who have not yet heard
of this medicine, measures ought speedily to be
adopted to have it more generally known.
A number of persons in our neighborhood, I un
derstand, are taking it fur other serious complaints,
with very great benefit.
1 think of going to the South, with my family,
sometime this fall, and in case I do, 1 will proclaim
the virtues of the Sanative in that quarter; for al
though some of the physicians here are actively op
posed to it, 1 do sincerely believe it saved my wife
from an opening grave.
If you think this letter will serve the public
good, you are at liberty to publish it.
Respectfully, &c.
H. K. SHERWOOD.
Testimony No. 2.
One person in our village, who was considered
by his physician to be in a Consumption, has taken
the Sanative, and is now well. Another person,
subject to epileptic fits, has been greatly bcnelittcd
by a short course of this medicine. There can be
no question but this medicine has performed won
dcrlul cures in a host of cases, and that it is worthy
of general attention. — Brunswick Advertiser.
Testimony No. 3.
IHE MAI ( H LESS SANATIVE.—By an article
in our paper to-day, it will be seen that this medi
cine has lost none ol its virtues by crossing the At
lantic —for it appears to be working similar cures
in America to those which have astonished Europe.
