In the first part of this year, my wife had several small lumps make their appearance in her breast; they continued to increase in size, until the whole breast became a diseased mass, and very painful. I procured the best medical aid in the city of Rome,"and notwithstanding the earnest and faithful attention of our most skillful physi cians, she continued to grow worse and worse, until they gave the case up as incurable, and advised amputation. I was advised by many of my friends, to visit Dr. Moseley, of Griffin, Ga., which I did, aud, astonishing as it may seem, be had her entirely cured within one month, and she is now in good health! 1 would advise all who are afflicted with Seirrlms, and Cancerous affections to visit the Doctor with out delay, as 1 am satisfied by’ experience and observation, that he is the most skillful physician in thcSouthern States, in the treatment us that horrible disease—cancer.

A Touching Story. I lie editor of the Chicago Times, having been on tlie North side of the city to see a friend, was recently prevented from .reaching his home, in consequence of a steam tng hav ing passed up the river with a small fleet of vessels in tow one of which had been cast off and hauled in just vest of the bridge, leaving the ‘draw’ still open While waiting he wit nessed the following scene: The vessel we have mentioned was moored or made fast outside of several canal boats; and as we stood locking at the men upon her, one of them approached a female, who had been crouched upon deck, and addressing her pointed to the shore, then to the bridge, and then down towards the thronged and busy streets of living, moving, headlong ( hie go Mie rose picked up a small bundle, from which she drew forth a coin which she tendered to the hardy sailor. He refused it, whatever it was, and lending her a hand, helped her from the vessel to the dock up to the bridge. By this time a large crowd of persons thronged the North end of where the bridge would be if it were always a bridge; and in contemplating the new faces, and the representatives of the various classes there assembled, we had almost forgotten the incident we hare related Onr ntt ntion was called from the vain endeavor to discover some cessation of tugs going up and down, and brigs and skooircrs puling in an out by hearing a most audible sob from someone near us. It was rot the sob of childhood, caused by some sudden change from gaiety to grief; it was the sob of some maturer breast, filled with a sense of loneliness and despair.— It reached other ears than ours A lady dressed in a manner which bespoke a wealth which could tratify taste and ele gancy and who, like ourselves, was detained at that place, stood near, accompanied by three children, \vhose desire to get at the ex treme edge of the platform she with difficulty repressed. With a woman’s tenderness her heart recognized the stifled ebullition of sorrow and appraehing the porso from whom it came, who was none other than the woman we had just seen land from the ve sel she quietly, and in that, sweet voice of woman which none can re-ist inquired if she stood in need, or was she ill, or was her sorrow such that she could not he relieved A portion of the railing near us was vacant, sjnd towards that and almost at onr side these two women came to converse.— The stranger was a fair, handsome girl of about seventeen years; neatly but coarsely dressed, with shoes not only well worn but heavy, and unsiiited as much for her sex as for the season The poor girl, in honest simplici ty,and with an earnestness which dispuir alone can impart, relatedlier history, uninterrupted by a single observation from her companion, but often accompanied by the tears of both. We have not space for it at length, but we will give ( changing its order, just enough to enable us to state it hr efiv. She said that she was born in Boston; she had no b other nor sister now, she remember ed that she had a sister, the oldest, whose name was Lizzie; that sister, years ago, against her father’s will had married, and with her husband having been banished from her fath er’s sight, had gone off and not been heard of sin i* no doubt was dead. Ai the time of her sister’.- marriage her parents were wealthy he pride which drove away Lizzie had brought silent regrets, and after a while came inelancho y complainings by the mother sigh ing for the unbrace ot her first born. These soon led to anger and crimination at home, and dissolution by the father abroad. Losses came upon them, and at last, gathering tlie few re maining goods they possessed, they left the >. roud city of their birth, and settled five years ago upon land purchased of the Government in Wi.-c >nsin Her brothers, some older and f>o e younger than herself, one by one droop ed and died; and soon the mother, calling m agony upon her long exiled daughter, joined her boys in a happier clime. None were now left but the father and this poor girl. He too was humbled and strickened by the slow but certain disease which lights up the cheek and fires the eye with brilliancy of health,even when its victim is on the confines of eterni ty. . . He would sit and tell to his surviving child the acts of winning love and sacrificing devo tion which had made his Lizzie the very object of his life. He would talk of her sweet smile and happy disposition, until memory would lead him to the hour when he bid her depart, and not let him see her face again. His de cline was rapid, and this lone child .-aw the flowers which the warmth of Spring had ca led bom the soil of her mother’s grave disturbed, uprooted and thrown aside, that his ashes might mingle with those of the mother of his children. At his death he charged her to pay off as far as slu- in ght. be able, the debts incurred to procure the necessaries of life The land, which from want of culture, had not increased in va ue, was sold, and left her but a fe* dol lars. These she expended* in rearing some boards to mark the spot where she had seen buried, one after another, her beloved kindred She hail heard of Chicago. She heard that in this city there were offices where strangers wishing employment could find work. She had on foot travelled many miles,until she had readied Milwaukee, and thence by the kind ness of a poor sailor, who had seen her day af ter day on the dock, watching the steamers depart, had inquired and ascertained that she wished to come hither, but laid not the money. He brought her to Chicago on his own vessel, and had told her that by crossing the bridge she could find one of those places where situa tion- were given to worthy applicants. Such was her story. She had mentioned no name except that of father, mother, and the very endearing appellations of'brot. er George. Willie &c. Both of the women were crying bitterly. The fashionably dressed lady tur. ed her face towards the river that her tears at such a crowded and unusual place might not be observed. She requested us to take her two boys, George and Willie,she called them, by the hand, to keep them from danger, and putting her hand around the neck of the poor wandering stranger, said: * 1 You are my sister. lam Lizzie, .” These two beings, children of the same pa rents, how differently have been their paths, and how different their sufferings! We have seen them together in Lizzie’s carriage, driving along Lake street They are doubtle-s as happy as their bereavements, relieved only by the consciousness of duty faithfully performed, can permit. But while the suffering of that father and mother may be faintly known from the story of the daughter, what .must have been the mental agony of that other daughter, unkindly banished from her mother’s side, and driven out. into the world without a farther's blessing? What must have been her grief when her letters written from a prosperous city, from the house of her wealthy and kind husband, telling them of her success and the birth of her children, were unnoticed and unanswered?-- She must have felt indeed that the hearts of that father and mother, her sisters and brothers must have been hardened against her That scene will live in our memory while wo can remember the holy love of a father, mother, and kindred. A Fearful Adventure. The Missouri Republican, in a letter from a Kansas correspondent, has the following: ‘At St. Joseph’s I saw Mr. A. I. Gorman k of New York, who has just come in from the moi.ntains in such a state of prostration and affliction as could only have been occasioned by such exposure, hardship and suffering as, perhaps, no other man ever survived. In com pany v,ith a Canadian Frenchman and two Kentuckians he left the country of the Black feet Indians last Fall, to join Cttlverson and party at Fort Pierre and accompany them to the States They arrived at Fort Pierre two days after Cnlverson’s departure, and hasten ed on after, in the hope of overtaking him. On the third day one of tho>e snow storms known only in those bleak and elevated re gions, opened upon them. It came down in solid mass s to the depth of four feet, and was blown about by drifting winds, leveling une ven places, penetiating and filling their wa gon cloths and obstructing their progress evening was appronchining and they resolved to moke one effort to reach a more protected plac before the night set in. They urged their horses forward, but had not proceeded more than a few hundred yards, Gorman being mounted on one of the teamsters, aud his com panion in the wagon—when suddenly he felt himself precipitated, he knew not how far, into an abyss of snow. He was completely cover ed over, and could not -tell which way to turn He struggled on, however, making a slow and tedious way, until he came to the surface— he supposedoi hundred yards from where he sank. He looked around for his companions, but neither they nor the wagon could be seen I he ]dace where they had fallen into the chasm was smoothed over, and presented a plane of snow.’ He cried aloud for them, but was only answered by wild and wailing winds. A feeling of dread aud desolution and des pair came over him, and he was about to yield himseh to death which seemed inevitable. Al ready had the cold penetrated his frame; dark ness was covering the skies; the inceasing winds whirled the more furiously; lie was alone in a vast inhospitable, unknown country, without provisions, without shelter, without arms or amunition, and lie was fear ful to take a step in any direction, lest he should be buried in a deep abyss. Ilis man hood was subdued, he wept like a child; the memories of liis happy home, and his mother, came fresh upon him; he knew the many anx ions hours, Ihe miserable years thai his un known fate would cause her; if he eould only seidhir One word of affec iouate adieu, he could die in peao ; but tnai c uld not be, and he must, rouse himself. He offered lus first prayer for heavenly aid; lie arose and moved forward through the dark ness and the drifts. He sometimes fell from exhaustion, and felt inclined 1 1 repose; but he knew t hut one moment’s pause was fatal, and he struggled on The next day lie saw some bushes, which gave him hope of rest and warmth, but when he reached tlie.n he found, to liis dismay that the matches in his pocket were wet and spoiled, and * ould not he ignited His feet had become so soie and swollen lroin constant walking, as to burst the s les from his shoes and he was compelled to cr>wl and tumble along. Thus he worki and his way slowly hut unceasingly thro’ the next night aud the next day, becoming more faint each hour, and suflfeiiiiii a thousand deaths trom hunger,thirst, frosted limbs,sore feet, weariness and drowsi ness, when he descried a hut a short way off. buddenly revived, like a candle flickering in the socket, he sprang and ran forward a tew steps and screamed for help, and fel senseless in the snow Some Indians at the hut. heard and saw him and went and brought him in, and used all their restoratives upon him; but it was several days before he ret timed to con sciousness, and six long weeks before lie left his bed. He 1> st several of liis toes and is otherwise permanently injured, hut through the assistance of some generous gentlemen ot St. Joseph, he will he enabled to reach home. His companions have neve: been heard of. The place where .they perished’ Mr Gorman ascertained to lie about thirty miles from where the steamer “ hite Fiord lies; but the snow was still deep in the gulches when lie left there He gave their names, but I regret that they have escaped my memory. Your-i &c.. 1’ # Grasshoppers. Some sort of insect—we have been told that is the grasshopper—has been playing sad havoc with corn in some neighborhoods in this county. Several persons having told us that their corn was being destroyed in this way, we walked out to ex amine our Cray, which had been recently work ed over, aud we could scarcely ‘ locate” the rows, so general had been the desetruction! In one patch of five or six acres, (joining the woodland,) there was not a stalk left to every twenty yards square!! Will some professor of “the shovel and hoe” tell us what can lie done to prevent such “varments” from destroying young corn ?—Southern Watchman. Terms of the Treaty of Peace. The Treaty of Peace, as published by one of the London papers, contains thirty-four ar ticles : The First restores perpetual friendship be tween Great Britain, Sardinia, Turkey, France and Russia.

Fifteenth. The act of the Congress of Vien na relative to liver navigation, is applied to the Danube and its mouths, and its freedom becomes a part of the law of the Empire. Sixteenth.

We can not join our friends of the Pennsyl vanian and the Harrisburg Patriot in com mending the Washington Sentinel to the con fidence and support of the Democracy of Penti sylrania. ‘! he Sentinel was established some months after the inauguration of President Pierce, os ensiblv to give an “independent sup port” to his administration, but in reality to give it an independent stab Sometimes it openly condemned the President, and’ at oth ers damned him with the faintest of faint praise. At no time during his whole career, has it gi ven the administration any support whatever* and latterly—-particularly since the judgment of our ouster rendered against it in the Senate its chief employment has been the vitupera tion of the President and his constitutional ad visers. It cannot be possible that our friends of the Pennsylvanian and the Patriot endorse the Sentinel’s assault upon the administration ! We are sure they do not. But the Sentinel, has come out for Mr. Buchanan, and on the spur of the moment, overlooking its gross and ; numberless transgressions, they have commend ed it to the favor of his friends. In taking its stand for the favorite sou of Pennsylvania, af ter destroying his own character as a demo cratic journal, the Sentinel has done Mr. Buch anan a service so infinitesimally small, that we, at least, have no thanks to render therefor.- If it lias, i'n the extravagance of its vitupera tion of the President, so far exhausted its stock of poison that its bite is no longer as fatal as the viper’s, there is reasou to fear that its em brace may be as crushing as that of the boa constrictor. It is now sliming Mr. Buchanan with its advocacy, and it will swallow him whenever its appetite or its ungovernable pas sions demand anew victim. The democracy of Pennsylvania will patron ize no such sheet as the Washington Sentinel. They will endorse with their subscriptions no journal that abuses the present administration. They are for Mr. Buchanan against all the world, but they never have depreciated, anti they never will* depreciate, the claims of any other candidate for the Presidency. Last of all will they reward or countenance the persis tent slanderer of an administration that has been true to the constitution and to all its trusts. The Cam els have Come. —The United State storeship Supply has arrived at Galveston from Smyrna, with thirty five camels on board. The Supply was sent out last fall to procure these? camels for the purpose of trying the experiment of transporting the mails on them’ across the plain- to Califonia, &e. One of the animals only died on the voyage. Several Arabs ac company them as keepers, and aniuclorsure pf ten acres has been prepared at indianolk, Texas, for their temporary accommodation, where they will remain until fully recruited.— The experiment is a novel one, but there is every reason to believe thau it will succeed (unless molested by the Indians) and will be of great accommodations until the “iron horse” commences his rapid flight across the plains.
