lection of prizes to be distributed among
the members of the Cosmopolitan Art, and
Literary Association on the 30th of Janua

works of Art, and each member receives the
foil value of his subscription in the receipt
of the Knickerbocker Magazine, which is
one of the most widely known and ably con

.commendable kind, being organized for the
encouragement of Literature and the fine

^ Kossuth onth* War.—The New York
¥im*s of Friday contain* a lengthy speech
delivered by Kossuth on the 30th November,
at a meeting in commemoration of the Po~
orator criticises very severely the present
wa^ policy of the English and French cabi
nets, holding that thebloody struggle now go
ing on in the Crimea is a useless and extrava
gant expenditure of life and treasure, so far
as any effective result is. concerned. He
takes occasion to reiterate his belief^ that if
the Allies would be successful against Rus
sia. they must bring to their co-operation
the Democratic element in Europe, by a gen
erous concesssion to popular liberty, they
must rally to tbeir standard the oppressed
millions of Poland and Hungary and Italy.

U©=.The Veteran Soldiers of the Repub
lic who have survived the Revolution and
the War of 1812 are to meet in Convention
at Washington, on the 12tk of January.
They intend to urge upon Congress the
justice of granting them bounty lands. No
American will find a place in his heart
hard enough to refuse these brave old sold
iers any reasonable and just claim upon the
country for which they have fought. Brave
men arc always modest and it is not prob
able that they will ask anything unreason
able.
Ink.—Mr. S. J. Shackelford has shown us
a specimen of very excellent writing ink,
manufactured by John E. Lamar, of Colum

S. has a supply on hand at his Auction and

Ground was broken on the North

I®. The Commercial Convention of the
Southern States, which met in Baltimore in
1851, at Memphis in 1852, and Charleston
in 1854, adjourned from the latter city to
reassemble in New Orleans, on tho second
Monday of January next. The City Coun
cil of New Orleans has directed the Mayor
to appoint a hundred delegates from the city
and to invite the Governor
States and the Mayors of Southern cities to
visit that city during the session of the con
vention.

We learn from the Athens Post that
the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad is
rapidly progressing toward completion. The
Masonry of the Loudon llridge is finished

running to Knoxville by next June if not
earlier.

The complete returns of the election for
Delegate to Congress from Kansas Territo
ry show the following result. Whitfield,
2,248, votes; Flenniken, 305 ; Wakefield,
258, Cliapmau, 10, and three scattering—
total 2,830 votes. Mr. Whitefield was from
Tennessee, is a through Southern man in
■ iuc cuy j foeling, and was the nominee of all who
nirs <>i Southern j h ympatiiyse with the South in the new Ter
ritory. It has been said in some quarters
that the question had very little to do with
the election. If we had no evidence either
way, except the mere circumstances attend
ing the colonization, wo should know this
was simply impossible. The Anti-Slavery
party, almost immediately after the passage
of the Nebraska bill organised formidable
associations for the purpose of overwhelming
Kansas with an abolition deluge. The
scheme of these associations has been car
ried forward with energy ever since. To
guard against this invasion, the people of
Missouri were driven to active measures of
conolization on their side. The whole
movement has therefore been Anti-Slavery
and Pro-Slavery ; and the election of Dele
gate to Congress has afforded the first op
portunity of trying the strength of the par
ties. The result is by no means flattering to
the tactics of the North. They may thank
their owu inordinate greediness and inso
lent assumption for the defeat. We have
always said that if the settlement of Kansas
bail gone on in a quiet natural, way, it
would have probably been a free State.—
But the Abolitionists wish nothing short of
an undisguised war measure. They paid a
liody of men to go and enact the acts of
Massachusetts Anti-Slavery in the wilder
ness of Kansas. The result is now before
them. We wish them joy of tlieir labors

The receipt of $1,300,000 of gold and $100,000
government drafts, by the California steamer, and
the advices that $1,600,000 was on the wayfrqm
San Francisco, has caused money to be somewhat
easier, and the banks have been able to add slightly
to tbeir specie in vaults. This, together with the
great curtailment of foreign goods, is doing os some
good, so that we hope to see the light after a while.
There is a rumor afloat that the Collins Company
are offered $990,000 each for the Pacific, Baltic and
Atlantic steamers, and that the allies and Rnssia
are the bidders. If this be true, no doubt they
will be sold, notwithstanding the Government
contract. What has been done once .can be done
again, and in a short-time ether vessels can be built
in their stead, whilst steamers performing only half
duty can, for the time being, fill their places. In
stead of national pride preventing, it seems that it
weald be gratified hereafter to paint to those three
noble vessels as having been necessary to keep the
allies oat of their difficulties, or the Czar to get
them into greater.
Whilst these gigantic negotiations are going on
among nations, the ladies of our city tn industri
ously engaged in carrying on the school for ragged
children, which is in a peculiarly prosperous con
dition as well as the Five Points Mission.
Yesterday afternoon, the Whig general commit
tee caused 100 guns to be fired in the Park, in hon
or of Myron H. Clark’s election as Governor of
New York, so that this long mooted question, who
is the Governor for 1855? is at last definitely set
tled, and we are fast preparing our minds and shap
ing our ideas for prohibition. There will be trouble
with the foreign population in enforcing any law
upon the liquor subject, but with the Americans
there seems a determination to enforce the will of
the majority, fairiy expressed, and never more than
at the present time.
What is termed the gay season commenced about
the first of the present month, most of the fash
ionables having commenced giving reception par
ties last week. These parties or levees take place
each week on some particular evening, and contin
ue from December until March. In this way all
the visits are received during one evening in the
week, by which arrangement the family will have
the remainder of the time exclusively to them
selves. The plan has its advantages, and in many
respects is decidedly convenient. The eastern of
dancing, so generally dispensed with by Queen
Victoria and the Empress of France, is still kept
up by the queens of this country, and though talk
ers have use for their brains, yet, upon the whole,
tho heels and toes are the more employed at these,
as at all other soirees.
The bubbles that are bursting around us, (and
one collapses almost every day,) does not prevent
other bubbles from having a good time whilst the
soap lasts, so that in spite of the blue times young
and old America enjoy themselves in pretty much
the same old way, and frivolty and vanity are by
no means to have an end with the year 1854.
The winter courses of lectures, before the various
societies, are in full blast, and if stump speeches,
elaborately prepared and gracefully delivered,
would save New York from financial crisis, Hcbro-
dox opinions or general immorality, we shonld be
saved at least six times each week besides laying in
an immense supply on Sunday.
Notwithstanding all these aids, however, the
morals of the city are without doubt in a deplora
ble condition. In looking over the comptroller’s
report, and the requirements of the city government
in tho way of taxes, property holders become
frightened at the sum requisite to pay for the pro
tection of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness :
and tho question arises whether it would not be
cheaper and more noble to buckle on the armor and
the sword and protect one’s self as in the ancient
days of chivalry. The expenses estimated for
1853 are thirteen millions, a sum so enormous to
be squandered in one year as almost makes one’s
head dizzy to think of. That these enormous tax
es grow out of the heavy peculations of contract
ors, aided by members of tho city government, no
one doubts, but yet there is little, if any, efficient
effort made to correct or prevent tho frauds.—
Councitinen elected, apparently pure, soon become
corrupted and follow very near in the steps of their
predecessors. The great mass of the community
would think them fools if they were to do other
wise, so we continue to be plucked like so many
goese, and there appears to be no favorable pros
pect of an end.
At the theatres there seems to be a rage for
scenic representations, and, therefore, at the Broad
way, Shakspeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream is
revived again with great effect.
There seems to be a new furor created favorable
to the opera, and lost night the new Opera Honse
was filled to repletion upon the production of “Se-
miramide.
It is to be regretted that several of the places of
amusement have rather descended in their moral
tone which they have heretofore professed. The
difficulty is no doubt in the groat number of them,
and the necessity, therefore, incumbent to receive
money from all sorts of persons. Wallack’s main
tains its former reputation and good acting will
generally bo witnessed there almost every evening
of the week, though there is sometimes too much
broadness to be met with.
The Sandwich Islands will undoubtedly be an
nexed during this administration, notwithstanding
the English C-onsul, old Miller’s long talk andslan
derous epithets against the people of tho United
States, to which the King has paid about as much
attention as the ox did to the fly that bit him on
the horn. The young prince has come into the ar
rangement. This accession to tho Union will add
to the inducements to hasten the connection by
rail and stage between St. Louis and San Francis
co. A company has been organized and we may
hope the stages will be put upon the route within
the next year. This, with the 17,300 miles of rail
road and 5,000 miles of canal, will answer for a
year or two until the 12,000 miles of roil are laid
that are now in contemplation to make us the
greatest carrying people on the globe.

Gomorrah.—A French traveler, M. De
Sauley, professes to have discovered the
ruins of this ancient city, now bearing the
name of Charbet Gomuran, or Gumran, on
the borders of the Dead Sea; they extend
over a space of more than six thousand
yards, and th# very name given by the
Arabs indicates their identity with the an

AYER’S PILLS,
A new and singularly successful remedy for tin
cure of all Bilious diseases — Costiveness, ludi-
g istion, Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers,
out, Humors, Nervousness, Irritability, Inflamma
tions, Headache, Paius in the Breast, Side, Back,
and Limbs, Female complaints, &o., See. Indeed,
very few are the diseases in which a Purgative Medi
cine is not more or less required, aud nv ch sick
ness and suffering might be prevented, if a harm
less but effectual Cathartic were more freely used.
No person can feel well while a costive habit of
body prevails ; besides it soon generates serious and
often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided
by the timely and judicious use of a good purgative.
This is alike true of Colds. Feverish symptoms, and
Bilious derangements. They all tend to become or
produce the deep seated and formidable distempers
which load the hearses ail over the land. Hence a
reliable family physic is of the first importance to
the public health, and this Pill has been perfected
with consummate skill to meet that demand. An
extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Profes
sors. and Patients, has shown results surpassing
anything hitherto known of any medicine. Cures
have been effected beyond belief, were they not sub
stantiated by persons of such exalted position ami
character as to forbid the suspicion cf untruth.
Among the eminent gentlemen to whom we art
allowed to refer for these facts, are
Prof. Valentine Mott, the distinguished Sur
geon of New York City.
Doct. A. A. Hayes, Practical Chemist of Hit
Port of Boston, and Geologist for the State of Mas
sachusetts.
Ira L. Mookf., M. D., an eminent Surgeon and
Physician, of the City of Lowell, who has long used
them in his extensive practice.
H. C. Socthwick, Esq., one of the first mer
chants in New York City.
C. A. Davis, M. D., Sup’t and Suigeon of tin
United States Marine Hospital, at Chelsea, Mass.
Did space permit, we could give many hundred
such names, from all parts where the Pills have
been used, but evidence even more convincing .h >n
the certificates of these eminent public mei. i>
shown in their effects upon trial.
These Pills, the result of long investigation and
study, are offered to the public as the best aud
most complete which the present state of medical
science can afford. They are compounded not of
the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues
only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical
process, in a state of purity and combined together
m such a manner as to insure the best results This
system of composition for medicines bus been found
in the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a
more efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob
tained by anv process. The reason is perfectly ob-
rious. While by the old mode of composition, ev
ery medicine is burdened with more or less of acri
monious and injurious qualities ; by this, each indi
vidual virtue ouly that is desired for tho curative
effect is present. All the inert and obnoxious qu.il
ities of each substance employed are left behind, t hr
curative virtues only being ret fined. Hence il is
self-evident the effect should prove as they ban
proved more purely remedial, and the 1‘iils s surer,
more powerful antidote to disease then any other
medicine known to the world.
As it is frequently expedient that my rtirdii-;::*
should be taken under the counsel of an an.-n.iu-■-
Physician, and as he could not property ju c.-■ ■
eiuedy without knowing its euinpositio.i. I ., :
supplied the accurate Formula bywhi-l; hch -:.r
Pectoral and Pills are made to the whole »%.-.<». ;
Practitioners in the United St-it. i and British \:n- r
man Provinces. If however there should - t .•
one who has not received them, thov will hi
promptly forwarded by mail to his address.
Of all the Patent Medicines that .ire offered, b-ts
few would be taken if their composition was know:
Their life consists in their mystery. I have o-
mysteries.
The composition of my preparations is laid op--
to all men, and all who are competent l-> j.- !■;- ><•
the subject, freely acknowledge their eoiiwci.f.
if their intrinsic merits. The Cherry PccD.r o >
pronounced by scientific men to be a wohd.-ri- .
medicine before its effects were known. Many •• .;
inent Physicians have declared the same tbim.- ‘
ray Pills, and even more confidently, and .r-
ing to certify that their anticipations were •
than realized by their effects upon trial.
They operate by their powerful influence oa
internal viscera to purify the biood and Mimnl'ili i;
into healthy action—remove the obstructions •li
the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of 1 hi
body, restoring their irregular action to health aa !
by correcting wherever they exist such derange
ments as are flic first origin of disease.
Being sugar wrapped they arc pleasant to 'ake
and being purely vegetable, no harm can arise :V --m
their use in any quantity.

My Dear Sir:—I have just had the
pleasure of examininga very superior
specimen of Dentistry.
A full set of Upper Teeth inserted
on platina plate with continuous gum of silicious com
pound
The set is of the manufacture of Dr. L. L. Ledbetter
of this place. For beauty of finish, strength & per-
manancy and natural life like apppearance, this pro-
ess is certainly far superior to anything 1 have ever
seen.
At the distance of a few feet, this Job would defy
detection. So much is it like the teeth and gums of
the Great Architect. Permit me to recommend to
your consideration most favorably Dr Ledbetter’s
claims as a Surgeon Dentist. He is a resident of this
city, permanently located, of high moral and religious
character, aud certainly a very superior workman
If you or any of your friends have any thing to be
done in his line, do me the favor to give the Dr., a call
at his office over U. L. Wriigh’s old stand on White
Hall Street.
Yours Respectfully,
38—ly B. H. OYERBY.
