“Hung bs the heavens with black"

His mighty life was burned away By Carolina’s fiery sun :

The pestilence that walks by day Smote him before his course seemed run.

The Constellations of the sky,The pleiades, the Southern Cross,

Looked sadly down to see him die,To see a nation weep his loss.

*• Send him to us,” the stars might cry—“ Yon do not feel his worth below ;

Your petty great men do not try The measure of his mind to know.

“ Send him to us. This is his place,.Not ‘inid your puny jealousies ;

You sacrificed him in yeur race Of envies, strifes and policies.

“ His eye could pierce our vast expanse,His ear could hear our morning songs,

His mind, amid our mystic dance,Could follow all our myriad thiongs.

“Send him to us ! no martyr’s soul,£><< hero slain in righteous wars,

No raptured saint could e’er controlA holier welcome from the stars.”

Take him. ye stars ! take him on high,To yout vast realms of boundless space.

But once he turned from you to try His name on martial scrolls to trace.

That once was when his country’s call.Said danger to her flag was nigh

And then her banner’s stars dimmed all The radiant lights which gemmed the sky.

Take him, loved orbs .' His country’s life,Freedom for all—for these he wars ;

For these he welcomed bloody strife.And followed in the wake of Mars !

‘ For Heaven's sake, Susy, do be serious, if you can, for five minutes. P ray , pray cease this trifling, which is but cruel playing with my feelings; let us treat this subject as it deserves, sobcily and seriously.’

‘ Well, there, then !’ cried the laughing, black eyed girl, tp whom Charles W esterly spoke. ‘ There, then, is th a t grave enough? See, the corners of my mouth are duly turn­ed down, and my eyes rolled up, and I am as sober as a patient who has caught sight of the dentist's instruments. Do I suit you.’

1 You suit me anyhow, and you know it well, you witch 1’ cried Charles, gazing with a smile, a t the pretty face, puckered up in its affectation of demureness. B ut he was not to be driven from his point, and he re­sumed gravely, after a pause, ‘ The time has come Susy, when I feel I have a right to demand an explicit answer to my suit. You have trifled with my earnest feelings long enough. I have grown restless under my fetters.’

‘ Shake them off, then, Charley,’ interupt- ed the saucy girl, with a pretty, defiant toss of the head, which plainly said, ‘ 1 defy you to do it.’

‘ I cannot Susy, I cannot, and you know it,' replied the hapless lover, impatiently.

* That being the case,’ said Susy, ‘take my advice— wear them gracefully, and don’t pull and jerk s o ; it only makes them hurt you.’

The young man turned away angrily, and walked silently up and down tho room, evi­dently fretting and fuming internally. Susy meantime, looked out of the window and yawned. Charles continued his moody walk.

• Oh, what a beautiful bird on tha t lilac tree !’ cried Susy, suddenly. ‘ Do come and see it.’

Charles mechanically approached the win­dow and looked out.

• Don’t you think, Charley,’ said Susy,laying her hand on his arm, and looking up eagerly, ‘don’t you think you could manage to ------ ’

* W hat, Susy, d e a r? ’ asked Charles, all his tenderness awakened by his manner.

■ W hat ?’‘ Drop a pinch of salt on his ta il,’ return­

ed the provoking girl, with an affectation of simplicity f ‘for, then, you know you would catch it.’

His answer was to fling her off, and with a suppressed exclamation, he turned angrily away.

His walk this time was longer than be­fore, and his cogitations were more e a rn e st; for he did not need any of Susy’s artfully artless devises to allure his notice. A t last he stopped abrubtly before her, and s a id :

‘ Susy, for three long years I have been your suitor, without either confession or promise of marriage on your part. Often as I have demanded to know your sentiments toward me, you have always coquetishly re­fused me an answer. This state of things must cease. I love you, as you know, bet te r than my life ; but I will no longer be your plaything. To-morrow you are going away to a distance, to be absent for months, and if you cannot, this very day, throw aside your coquetry and give me an honest yes for my answer, I shall consider tha t I have re­ceived a no, and act accordingly.’

1 And how would tha t be ? W hat would you do ?’ asked Miss Susy, curiously.

‘ Begin by tearing your false and worth­less image from my h e a r t!’ cried Charles furiously.

‘ I t would be a curious piece of business, Charley ; and you would not succeed either,’ said Susy.

‘ I should and would succeed,’ said he, ‘as you shall see, if you wish, cruel heartless g irl !’

B u t I don’t wish, Charley, dear. I love dearly to have you love me,’ said Susy.

As she spoke she drew a rose from her bosom, and threw it to him. i t lodged on nis arm, and he brushed it away as if it had been poison, and passed on without looking up.

Susy spent the rest of tha t day in tears. Early next morning the bustle of departure began. Susy was going to accompany her widowed and invalid mother on a trip for her health.

As they reached the w harf and descended from the carriage, Susy's eyes made them­selves busy searching for one wished for face; hut it was nowhere to he seen.

The steamboat lay panting and puffing, impatient to be let loose. Susy's mother, aided by the servant-man who accompanied them, had already crossed the gangway which lay between the wharf and the boat, and Susy was reluctantly following, when the sound of a voice behind her—the very voice she was longing to hear— startled her. She turned to look round, and, missing her foot-

g, fell into the water.A nother instant, and Charles had thrown

off his coat, and calling out loudly, ‘Tell the captain not to let the wheel stir, and to lower tnc a rope!’ he sprang into the river. But of her whom he was risking his life to save, he was unable to to perceivcany trace.

J ndging that the current of the river might have carried her a little forward, he swam around the wheel, hut still he saw her not. despair seized his heart as he conjectured tha t she might be under the boat. He strained his eyes to see through the water, and a t length discerned, far below tho sur­face, what seemed tp he the eud of a float­ing garment, lodged between the wheel and the rounded bottom ot the boat.

I f this were indeed the unfortunate girl, the least movement of the wheel must inevi- ably crush her, and Charles in his terror, fancied it was already beginning to turn. He dived and clutched a t the garment, hut missed it. He rose, panting, and almost ex­hausted ; but scarcely waiting to get breath he plunged again under. This time his efforts were crowned with success, a t least so far tha t he was able to bring Susy’s form to the surface of the water, but she seemed totally lifeless.

Charles was now so nearly exhausted that he had only sufficient presence of mind left to clasp Susy convulsively to him while he kept himself afloat by holding on to the wheel.

B ut this his last hope of support, seemed also to fail him soon, as ho perceived tha t it was now really beginning to turn slowly around. By a desperate effort lie struck his foot against one of the paddles so as to push himself as far from the danger as possible. As he did so, something touched his head, and his hand grasped a rope. New life seemed now infused into him. He gathered all his energies, aud fastened the rope round Susy’s w aist; coneiousnoss then entirely forsook him.

In the meantime the witnesses of the scene, after giving Charles’ directions to the cap­tain, had watched his struggles and exertions with breathless interest. The rope had been flung to him again and again, but in the ex­citement of his feelings, and semi-insensibili­ty, he had been incapable of availing himself of the proffered aid.

The next morning the ' Toulton Journal published the following lilies:—“November 17, 1823.— Yesterday, a convict, a t work on board of theO rion , on his return from res­cuing a sailor, fell into the sea and was drowned. His body was not recovered. I t is presumed it has been caught under the piles a t the pierhead of the arseual. This man was registered by the number 9430, and his name was Jean Valjean.”— Victor Hugo.

T h e P o l is h S a l t M in e r’s L ife .I was greatly impressed by the profound si­

lence of these vast caverns. When we stood still, the utter absence of sound was appalling. The falling of a pin would hive been a relief. Not even the faintest vibration of the air was perceptible. No desert could he mure silent—no solitude more awful. I stood apart from the guides and lampbearers in a soperate vault, at the distance of a few hundred feet, in order that I might fully appreciate this profound inertion, and it really seemed as if the world wore no more.

From some of these tunnels we emerged into open caverns, where a few workmen were em­ployed at their dreary labors. 1 was surprised that there were nut more to be seen, but was informed that they are scattered in smzll parties through miles of earth, so that the number is not apparent to the casual visitor. As we ap­proached the places where they were at work, the dull clicking of the picks and hammers produced a singular effect through the vast soli­tudes ; as if the gnomes, supposed to inhabit gloomy pits were busily engaged at their diaboli­cal arts.

rugged masses of salt overhead, their heads, faces and bodies glittering with the showers of salt grit that fell upon them ; whilcothers stood up to their arm-pits iu dark holes delving into the lower crevices. Seeing our lights, they stopped to gaze at us. Was it possible they were human beings, these bearded, shaggy, grimy- looking monsters ? Surely, if so, they well re­presented the infernal character of the place. Never upon earth (the surface of it. 1 mean,) laid I seen such a monstrous group : shocks of hair all powdered with s a lt ; glaring eyeballs overhung by white lashes Hashing ir, the titful blaze of lamps ; brawny forms glittering with crystal powder, aud marked by dark currents ol sweat! No wonder I stared at them with some-

W o r th o f M o n ey .We hear a good deal about the worth of prop­

erty. A house is worth ten thousand dollars ; that lot is worth fifty thousand dollars ; a farm is worth eighty thousand, a horse three hun­dred, a carriage five hundred, and so on endless­ly. This is all very well in its way. But ought not the question, sometimes, to be put the other way, how much is a man’s money worth ? There is a wider range in the value of money than most persons think. And, upon a little inquiry,. I suspect that it will be found that all men who possess money, or who longto possess it, have a way of measuring it, not by dollars, but by its value in some sort of pleasure or article.

One man earns a thousand dollars, and says to himself, there, that puts me one step out of debt. Money to him is a means of personal lib­erty. A man in debt is not a freeman.

‘ The borrower is servant to the lender.’Another man sees in a thousand dollars a

snug little homestead, a home for his children, a shelter to his old age, a place to live in, and a good place to die in. But his neighbor only sees one more link.in the golden chain of wealth. It was thirty-nine thousand last month, he is worth forty this. And his joy is in the grow­ing numerals. lie imagines how it will sound, full, and hearty, when men say, ‘ he is worth a hundred thousand dollars.’ Nay, when it comes to that, he thinks five a better sound than one, and five hundred thousand dollars is a sound most musical to his ear.—though he loves even better yet to call it half a million ! Tho word mil/ioncats a great swath in men’s imaginations. All this estimate of money is sheer ambition. Tho man is vain. He thinks much of himself on aceount of money, not of character. A man who is openly proud of money, is secretly contemptuous of those who have none.

Another man wishes to see the world. Every dollar means travel. A thousand dollars means Europe. Two thousand dollars means Egypt, Palestine and Greece.

Boys dealing in smaller sums reckon in the same way. A penny means a stick of candy ; sixpence is but another term for ball ; shilling means a kite ; and fifty cents, a jack-knife.

But many and many a weary soul sees in every shilling bread, rent, fuel, clothes. There are thousands who hold on to virtue by hands of dollars : a few more save them ; a few less,

hung suspended in tha t manner. The sea lay far below him at a giddy depth. The shock of his fall had given to the man ropes a violent swinging motion, and the poor fel­low hung dangling to and fro a t tho end of this line, like a stone in a sling.

To go to his aid was to run a frightful risk.None of tho crew, who were all fishermen of the coast^ecently taken into service, dared attem pt it.

A sign ol assent being given, with one blow of the ham­mer he broke the chain riveted to tho iron ring a t his ankle, then took a rope inhand, and flung himself into the shrouds. Nobody, a t the moment, noticed with what ease the chain was broken. I t was -only some time afterward tha t anybody remem­bered it.

In a twinkle he was upon the yard. He paused a few seconds, and seemed to measure it with his glauce. Those seconds, during which the wiud swayed the sailor to and fro at the end of the rope, seemed ages to the lookers-on. A t lenngth the convict raised his eyes to heaven, and took a step forward. He was seen to run along the yard. On reaching its extreme tip, he fastened one end of the rope he had with him, and let the other hang a t full length. Thereupon he began to let himself down by his hands along this rope, and then there was an inexpressible sen- s .tiou of te rro r; instead of one mail, two were seen dangling at th a t giddy height.

And thus, when our hero regained his coneiousnoss, he found himself many miles from home. O f course his first anxious in­quiry was for Susy, and when informed that she was rapidly recovering, his happiness seemed complete. H e showed his content­ment by turning-over and falling into a deep quiet sleep.

About sunset a message came_to him that Miss B -------desired to see him.

He found her lying on a sofa in the cap­tains state-room, which had been given up to her. She looked very pale, and somewhat

was tim e; one minute more, and the man, exhausted and despairing, would have fallen into the deep. The convict firmly secured to the rope, to which he clung withonehand while he worked with the other. Finally he was seen re-ascending the yard, and hauling the sailor after him ; he supported him there tor an instant, to let him recover his strength and then, lilting him in his arms, carried him, as he walked along tho yard, to the cross-trees, and from there to the round-top, where he left him in the hands of his mess­mates.

He however had made it a point of duty

the case. At present the administration of affairs is more humane than it was at au early period in the history of the mines. The opera­tives are free to quit whenever they please as in any private establishment. Plenty of others are always ready to take their places. The pay is good, averaging from thirty kreutzers to a florin

hjgi a day. Wherever it is practicable the work is done by the piece. Each man receives so much for a specified result. Good workmen can make two or three hundred florins a year. The salt is gotten out in various forms, according to the depth of the stratum. Where it is mixed with an amalgam of hard earth it is cut into cylindri­cal blocks and exported in that form to Russia. The finer qualities are crushed and packed in barrels for exportation to various parts of Prussia and Austria.

How little do we rcllect upon the tremendous | aggregate of toil by which the commonest ar­

ticle of human food is procured ! Thus, as we sit at our pleasant breakfast table—the sunshine shedding its cheerful glory through the curtains j upon tho social circle, the white cloth, the clean knives, the buttered toast and boiled eggs,.so invitingly spread before us—with what charm­ing unconsciousness of labor we dip up a little salt and sprinkle it upon our eggs and butter ! how merrily we chat over the topics of the times ! To be sure there is no good reason why we should make ourselves miserable because what we relish so highly, cost labor ; but would it not be instructive to dwell a moment even, only a pinch of salt ? Not to go into a history of the silver mines which have served to garnish our table ; the iron mines, which have furnished us with knives and forks; or the coal mines which afford us fuel with which to cook our food—what a world of salt-seas, and brine- springs, and crystal caverns—what an aggre­gate of human toil, commerce and enterprise that pinch of salt suggests ! Yet so common is the use of this mineral that, like the air we breathe, wo are scarcely conscious ol its exis­tence.

We next visited the stables in which the horses are kept for hauling the salt on the sub­terranean railways. Many ol these horses, it is said, never see daylight from the time they enter tho mines. In the course of a few weeks they lose their sight. A film gradually grows over the eves—from what cause I could not as­certain. i t may he the effects of the salt or long continued darkness—though it docs not appear tiiat the miners suffer any inconvenience in this respect. 1 remember reading of some fish without any eyes at all found in the Mam­moth Cave in Kentucky.

‘ Charles,’ she said, without offering a word of thanks. ‘ I want to see a clergyman. Is there one on board ?’

I will go and see,’ said Charles, moving to the door ; but a dreadful thought striking him, he turned, exclaiming, ‘Susy you do not think-------’

‘ That I am going to d ie?’ said she antic­ipating him. *No, Charles; but I want to see a clergyman.’

Charles went and soon returned, accom­panied by a minister.

‘ I thank you sir, for coming to me,’ said Susy to the latter as he entered. ‘ I have a strange request to make to you. Would you object, sir, in the presence, and with the consent of my mother, to unite me to that gentleman ?’

If the M inister was astonished at this re­quest, Charles was infinitely more so.

A man may scrupulously attend Divine worship in God,s house, may giro largely to missionary and other religious enterprises, and still lack the genial, generous graces of the Christain character.

it was that he felt fatigued, or because his head swam, people then saw him hesitate and stagger. Suddenly the throng uttered a thrilling outcry ; the convict had fallen into the sea.

The fall was perilous. The frigate Al- gesiras was moored close to the Orion, and the poor convict had plunged between the two ships. I t was feared he would be drawn under one or the other. Four men sprang at once into a boat. The people cheered them on, aud anxiety again took possession of all minds, The man had not risen again to the surface.

The other day, I heard a father—a hale, happy man—praising his boys, four sturdy fel­lows, who had escaped the' dissipation and excite­ment of a city life, and were now as fresh in heart and as ruddy in face as when they prattled about their mother’s knee. I had seen so much of parental sorrow over sons gone astray, cor-

I rupted physically and morally, that I ventured to ask my friend, the happy father, how it was that he had been so able to save his boys from the contamination of evil associates and bad habits. .

‘ The way is simple enough,’ he said ;‘ neither original nor in anyway remarkable.I keep my hoys at home evenings by making their home a pleasanter place than they can find elsewhere.

‘ But we don’t care to he out from home too much. We have a way among ourselves of keeping up a kind of reading society, and we are apt to get so engaged iu the hook wc are reading that we feel little like leaving it. We take care to find readable books, good novels, works of travel, essays, good biographies of good men, aud the like ; then we read them aloud in the evening, when we are all a t home from school, or store, each taking a turn a t tiie read­ing.

new devices for earning a few dollars. He ponders whether there is not some new econo­my which can save a few shillings. And when good luck at last brings a score of dollars to him, with what fever of haste does he get rid of them, fairly running to the stall, and fear­ing, at every step, lest some fortunate man should have seized the prize. Wasteful man ! that night saw too much oil burnt out in poring over the joyful treasure. Books are what his money is worth ! But others see different visions. Money means flowers to them. New roses, the latest dahlia, the new cainelia, or others of the great houri band of flowers that fill the florist's paradise—the garden.

Some men see engravings in money ; some, pictures, some, rare copies of old books ; some, curious missals. Others, when you say money, think of fruit trees, of shrubbery, ofarbore- tums, pinetuius, and frutieetums. And we have reason to believe that there are some poor wretches who, notcontent with anyone insan­ity, see pretty much all these things by turns.

But there are nobler sights than these to be seen through the golden lens of wealth : a father and mother placed in comfort in their old age ; a young man helped through college, or established in business ; a friend extricated from ruin ; a pooj- widow saved from beggary, and made a suppliant before God for mercies on your head, every day that she lives ; the sick and unfortunate succored, the orphan ed­ucated, the school founded, the village lined with shade-trees, a free library established, and a thousand such like things. A man is not to he known by how much money he has, but by what money is worth to him.

T h o G r o w th o f R u s s ia .In September the thousandth anniversary of

the foundation ot the Russian Empire was cele­brated with great celat at Novgood, the ancient capital. The early history of Russia—as all history of a thousand years ago—is involved in

and the Vagarians, the wandering tribes of the North on the other, the latter with success.— Then as iu a hundred other instances, the de­feated party called in foreign aid, oflering to submit to another sovereignty to be relieved from their hated conquerors. Now, just one thousand years ago, went a foreign chief, Rurie, and his two brothers, Sindf and Truwor, with many followers to take part iu the war. They were called Russians—‘ from the other side of tho sea,’ that is, from Denmark, whence were the Normans and other tribes, whose blood, mingling with the ancient Briton’s we have in our veins. The Russians are therefore the blood relations to the Anglo Saxons, though the relationship is distant, and there have been so many infusions on each side, that we might

Marriage of M. Guizot.—The somewhat ro­mantic circumstance that led to the m arriage of M. Guizot is quite generally known. We give it, however, for any who are not familiar with it :—

Belonging to a family of distinction, but which had been ruined by the revolution, Mile.Pauline de Meulan had found her resources in an education as solid as it was varied, and in

er adventure in the drawing-room of M. Soard, conquerors had intermingled with the natives

It was in 1224 that the Mongols poured over the west, not for the purpose of settling, colo­ring , but for plunder. The Princes of Russia met them in battle, and were totally routed.—• This virtually ended ancient Russia ; for from that date, for mure than two hundred and fifty years, Russia was a dependency ot the great Mongol empire in Asia, During this period the civilization of the empire wasted away.

It was under Ivan, who came to the throne iu 1472, that independence of the Tartars was gained’. When he received despatches from the Mongol court, instead of riding out to meet the messenger, in token of his submission, he took the papers lrom his hand, and without reading, tore them in pieces and trampled them under his feet before his nobles, whom he told to pre­pare for war. War followed, and with it came the end of the Tartar rule. Of the present Russian empire it was Ivan who was the found­er, less than four hundred years ago, not Rurie a thousand years ago ; for under Ivan there was an entire reorganization, and then the ba­sis of that despotism which has continued with few alterations to this day, was laid. He made the indivisibility of the realm a fundamental law. He introduced fire-arms into Russia, and commenced the modern civilization of the em­pire. His second wife Zoe Sophia, the niece ol the last Emperor of Constantinople, which had surrendered to the Turks ; and thro’ her the double-beaded eagle came to the Russian arms. She was followed to the court by a suite ol Greeks and Italians, through whom the use­ful and elegant arts were introduced, and the commencement made of that system of improve­ment that was alterward so energetically car­ried froward by Peter the Great.

\ \ e do not care to follow down the history of the country. From its release from the Mongol rule, its progress has not ceased to this day, when in extent of territory it surpasses any other nation on thc face of the globe, and in population it is the first of civilized peoples. It now covers in Europe, Asia and America, an area of 8,333,884 square miles, which is one seventh of all the land on the globe, and double ^ ^ v h o le of Europe. The Lnited States is ^ ^ ■ t one-third as big ; France is one-fortieth ; W rtire a t Britain one-seventieth. Its length is nearly 10IM miles from the Baltic to the Sea of Japan an™ constantly it is pressing on the south lor new acquisitions. Within a very few years it has gained a vast region in North east­ern Asia, drained by the Arnoor, a river as large as the Mississippi, and now the frontier is but five hundred miles from Pekiu.

It has in the same manner been pressing down upon all its line in Asia, and is to-flay in a condition more favorable for growth than ever before. Its population increases faster than its territory. Sixty years ago it was but 36,000.000, and now it is 75,000,000. Not less prosperous is it in all branches of industry —iu agriculture, commerce, and manufactures. I t is indeed the great power of Europe, and promises to attain supremacy in the world. No nation can offset it but thc United States, and that only by union, harmony and peace.— Hcichuryport Herald.

A New Orleans paper states : Among the rebel prisoners taken the other day was un of­ficer whom we shall call Captain Johnson. He, before going to the war, had deposited three hundred dollars in the Bank of Commerce.— Upon his return to the city and parolement, he called at thc bank to inquire abuut his funds. After much Peter Funk tumbling, it was ad­mitted that the Captain bad deposited the sum named. ‘ Well,’ said lie, ‘ I want it .’ There­upon he was asked if he had taken the oath of allegiance. ‘ Yes,’ said he, ‘ here is my certifi­cate to that effect ’ Thereupon he was remind­ed that his deposit was made in Confederate notes. ‘ Very true,’ he replied ; ‘ but at that time Confederate notes were current and val­uable.’ ‘ Oh !’ muttered the banker, ‘ I must give in thc currency of which you deposited.’ • B ut,' said the Captain, ‘ Confederate notes are worthless now.’ The banker was firm, and the Captain retired. He called the next day and renewed his demand for his money, lie was told as before, he must take Confederate notes. • I suppose I must,’ observed the Cap­tain. The banker paused, and then inquired :‘ What can you do with Confederate notes?’‘ I do not know,’responded the Captain. ‘ They are worthless hero,’ said the banker, ‘ and it is against the law to pass them.’ ‘ That is what I have been telling you,’ said Captain John­son ; ‘ hut since you will not give me anything else, I persume I had better take Confederate notes.’ ‘ Yes, yes, yes, yes,'nervously splutter­ed the banker ; and again he asked ; ‘ What can you do with Confederate notes ?’ ‘ Well,’ replied Johnson, ‘ 1 will tell you squarely what I will do. 1 11 takffthem to General Butler, and try to get gold for them.’ Upon this, the banker counted out three hundred dollars in Tzeasury notes, and Captain Johnson retired. This is what we call treeing a fox. This is a queer world ; and there he queer people in it.

Betsey’s Courting Sensations.—There is a dear good old lady in our “ dcstrict,” who has for a daughter au “ unkiinmon’’ cross old girl, who has not been burdened with a surplus of attention from the opposite “ sect.” Her mother wonders “ why on arth the fellers don’t come to see Betsey.’’ But, mirabile dictu! last Sunday night Betsey had a beau, and tney “ sot up,” and the old lady was extremely delighted. Monday morning, when her fair daughter came down to her morning meal, the old lady ex­claimed, with pleasant emphasis :

•• Well, Betsey, my dear, low do you feel this morning?”

Betsey glared at her a moment, and then mut­tered, in deep, low tones : '

“ Feel as though Ieuuld ea tsu 'th in .”Betsey wasn't accustomed to “ setting up,”

How to be Happier.—Said a venerable far­mer eighty years of age, to a relative who had visited him ; ‘I have lived on this farm for over half a century. I have no desire to change my residence so long as 1 live on earth. I have no desire to be any richer than I now am. I have worshiped thc God of inv fathers with the same people for forty years. During this period I have rarely been absent from the sanctuary on thc Sabbath, and have never lost but one com- muninon season. 1 have never been confined to my bed by sickness a single day. The bles­sings of God have been richly spread around mo, and I made up my mind long ago that if I wished to be any happier, I must have more religion.’

A New Wav to Destroy Stumps.—A corre­spondent of the Rual Register writes that jour­nal that Mr. John Barnes of Baltimore removed a troublesome stump frum near his house in the following manner : “ List fall, with an inch auger, he bored a hole in the centre of the stump ten inches deep and put into it about half a pound of oil of vitriol and corked the hole up tight. This spring the whole stump and roots extending through all their ramifications were so rotten that they were easily eradicated.”

Don’t Eat too Much.—The celebrated Aber- nethy once remarked to a friend : “ I tell you honestly what I think is the whole cause of the complicated maladies of the human frame ; it is their gomandizing and stuffing and stimu­lating the digestive organe to excess ; thereby creating irritation. Thestatoof our minds is another cause—the fidgeting and discontenting ourselves about what cannot be helped—passions of all kinds; malignant passions, and worldly cares pressing upon the mind, disturb the cen­tral action, and do a great deal of harm.”

Here is an interesting scrap from the prayer of a man who was in the habit of Hilling the breaks in his petitions with tho syllable, er ;“ Oh Lord wo pray for our poor brother, who capital, which was built in 114J, might huve has lived for more than ten yearson the L »rd s become the seat ol piro tor all Europe, but side-er. and has one foot in the grave-erand the for the Tartar invasion and conquest of thc other all but-er.”—Exchange. country iu the 13th century.

Suoar P lums.—lYemcet with extravagances in tho world which we must erdure and indeed, adopt while they last. Their absurdity does not completely disappear till after they are over. In tho reign of Henry III, there was a time when it was thought impossible to exist with­out sugar-plums. Every one carried his box of sugar-plums in his pocket, as he now does Ilia snuff box. It is related in the history of the Duke de Guise that when he was killed at L'lois, he had his eomfit-box in his hand.

Saturday, Decem ber 13, 1862.

8 . M. PETT1NGILL It CO., N o. 87 Finn B ow , New York, and No. 6 State Street, Bosson, are our Agents for the Rockland Gazette, in those cities, and are author­ized to take Advertisements and Subscriptions for us at our Lowest rates.

S. R. NILES, (successor to V. B- Palmer,) Newspaper Advertising Agent, No. 1 Scollay’s Building, Court Street, Boston, is authorized to receive advertisements for this paper, at the rates required by us.

The M essage vs. the Proclam ation.Some of our cotemporaries seem under great

concern of mind with regard to the conflict bo- tween the President’s Proclamation of Sept. 22d and his late Message. The Boston Courier says that the President has “ placed himself in a very embarassing situation, by the absolute inconsistency ” between the Proclamation and his theory of compensated emancipation. “ In fact,” says the Courier, “ the propositions are diametrically opposite to each other in all their relations and conditions. In the latter docu­ment [the Message] he takes up the matter as a question of moral and political reform. Sup­posing any disposition to exist to accede to his plan, on the part of those whoso consent must first be obtained, a term of several years must elapse, before any considerable headway could be made for carrying it into effect; and Mr. Lincoln himself supposes that the long period of nearly forty years would be necessary in order to complete it. Nor does this seem any too much time in which to bring about so thorough a revolution ip the social habits and condition of many millions of our fellow beings, both white and black. To be either wise, just, or humane, the process must necessarily be gradual. Hence, when the President reasons upon the subject from this point of view, he takes into considera­tion the necessities of the case, and assigns what he judges to be a due time for the accomplish­ment of his scheme.”

And then the Courier goes on to say that the Proclamation disregards all these considerations, and that it could not, if effective a t all, produce in a momeut all those social changes for which the scheme of the message allows forty years. And the Courier asks, if the Proclamation is to produce the result ol a complete uprooting the system of slavery in the Rebel States, ho’ Mr. Lincoln can reconcile it with his (^science to strike a blow wbich shall violentlyiio all a t once that for the acomplishmcnt of which forty years ought to be allowed.

It is very true that these measures a rc“ dia­metrically opposite to each other,” und for the simple reason that one is a peace measure—“ a question of moral und political reform,” and the other an act of war. Papers of the class of our cotemporary have their moral and po­litical sentiments so confused by treason-sym­pathizing proclivities, that they are not expect­ed to appreciate the President’s position, but honest and loyal men will. In order that tho question might be settled in a manner that should combine “ wisdom, justice and human­ity ” on the part of all concerned, the South should submit to Federal authority, accept the policy of compensated emancipation and give peace to the country. But what if the South continues to refu60 to be “ wise, just and hu­mane,” and wages war against the government as vindictively as ever ? Should the government therefore hold out this offer of compensation for gradual and voluntary emancipation, during “ forty years ” (more or less) of continued war, without striking a blow meanwhile at the cause and main support of the rebellion ?

As a measure for the gradual and voluntary removal of our national cur6e, under the peace­ful operation of the Constitution, the plan dis­cussed in the message is one eminently “ wise, just and humane.” I t proposes a settlement of the great question in which the nation shall share equally the burden of the removal of the great curse whose existence is the great obstacle to a permanent and indissoluble Union. The rebellious States have the opportunity to offer their acceptance of this solution of the diffi­culty, until the first day of January, when those States which still persist in rebellion will be placed beyond the reach of its advantages. Because it may be spurned by the rebels, detracts nothing from the wisdom and patriotism of the proposed measure, and far less docs it render the Proclamation unwise, inutile or unneces­sary.

But wise and humane as such a plan as is set forth in the message would be, could there be any hope of its practical effect, with regard to the rebel Slave States? Very little we fear, and this renders it most probable that the Pres­ident looked for practical results from this measure, with reference to the loyal slave hold­ing States alone. These would all soon accept the proposition, no doubt,if it should be tender­ed to them. But it may not be hoped that the rebellious states will improve the day of grace to return to wisdom and justice, nor can it be inferred that the President could have had any confident expectation that his plan could induce them to do so, or that the necessity for the pro­clamation of emancipation would be diminish­ed. And therefore when the Courier says that the President has as yet only placed his piece of ordnance, asking if he will load it and fire i t off, and remarking that it thinks not, we think that paper is on the wrong track. We see no “ absolute inconsistency ” between the Proclamation of September 22d and the meas­ure urged in the Message, and that none exist­ed in the intention of the President we think the country will be convinced on New Years’ Day.

Skating Park.—They have one of these nt Rockland, which is lighted up from 6 to 10 o'clock P. M .,and Policemen guard it.—Port­land Advertiser.

So say tho “ regulations,” but “ wc don’t see it in that light ” yet.

The Boston Courier and some other papers of that ilk are stultifying themselves with absurd attempts at logic, intended to weaken the effect of the President’s declaration that slavery is tho cause of the rebellion. The following twaddle is from the Courier :

“ Mr. Lincoln’s ingenious, though not origin­al observation, that, ifthero had been no slavery there would have been no rebellion, has some­times been compared with the equally logical sequence, that if no one travelled on the high­ways with money in his pockets, there would bo no highwaymen. Tho truth is, we may begin in such a chain of reasoning just where wc sec fit. If the world had not been created with various races upon it, of divers character­istics, capacities and dispositions ; if the neces­sities, or opinions, or prejudices of society were not such as they are ; wo should have had no Freesoil party, no Chicago platform, no division among the Democratic party, giving the oppor­tunity for the Republican minority to succeed, and consequently, no Mr. Lincoln for President. In the latter case wc should, of course, have had no rebellion; and wc may begin at that point, according to Mr. Lincoln's mode of rea­soning, as well as anywhere else.”

Your parallel is at fault, Mr. Courier. The man with money in his poeket is not pretended to be the responsible cause of the crime of his robbery, but slavery is the responsible cause of the rebellion. You Bhould have said rather,

If tiiere were no highwaymen, the traveler would not be robbed.” Your illustration, al­though not a parallel, is a matter of fact. But what then ? Would you not punish your high­wayman for his crime ? When wc catch a pi­rate, we neither hang his forefathers nor excuse him because the opportunity for the commission of crime was put in his way. I t is the fact of slavery that we have to deal with ; it is the re­sponsible, inciting cause of the war, and should be so regarded, notwithstanding the white­washing of papers and politicians of your stripe.

Appointment.—T. K. Osgood, Esq., of this city, has recently received the appointment of Paymaster in the army, which he has accepted and will leave for Washington immediately.— Mr. Osgood’s patriotic course has made him de­serving of, and his abilities amply qualify him to till any position which may be given him.— His fellow citizens will, however, while they congratulate him upon receiving this appoint­ment, feel much regret that they are to lose his

.^1 services in the legislature the present winter, leaving us, Mr. Osgood also resigns the

charge of the High School, and a place in the city council as Alderman from Ward 5.

“ Merry Christmas.” —The annual fair and levee of the ladies of the Second Baptist Society has come to be one of the leading attractions on our programme of Christmas enjoyments and one that would be seriously missed were it to be withdrawn. We are happy to say that the ladies of this society are making ample preparations for their usual entertainment, and that it will take place a t Granite IIall,*on Christmas evening. We haven’t seen the list of attractions, but presume they will be all the public arc led to expect from the happy experience of pa8t occasions, including the Antiquarian Supper. We are sure everybody will make up their minds to go and enjoy the good time.

Tire H igh School.—No interruption in the High School is made by Mr. Osgood’s resigna­tion or the placo of teacher. Mr. Osgood took charge of the school with the engagement to fill his place acceptably when he should be obliged to leave it, and the school goes, on with no al­teration in its arrangements or classification under the charge of Mr. E. T. Chapman, an ac­complished and experienced teacher, and late principal of the Thomaston Academy.

Insurance.—We call especial attention to the advertisements of Mr. E. H. Cochran’s In­surance Agency in this paper. Mr. C. repre­sents the best companies, both stock and mu­tual, and devotes his whole attention to the business of the agency, which he transacts with punctuality, correctness and entire faithfulness tu the interests of both insurers and insured. A long-continued and increasing business is the best testimony to the confidence which this Agency enjoys with the public.

F ireman’s Levee.—Wc bear that Dirigo En­gine Company intend to hold their annual levee this winter on New Year's evening, instead of on the 14th of February, as the latter date falls on Saturday. A good time and a big crowd n a y be expected, for it is a remarkable fact tha t the company in attendance a t Dirigo’s levees is twice as large as that a t any other en­tertainment of the season.

The Election of City Rf.presentatvie.—An election to fill the vacancy in the representation of this city in the next legislature, occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Osgood, will be held on Saturday of next week. We do not know whether the manner of selecting a candidate has been determined on, but think it obvious that a caucus of all Republicans and Union Democrats who sustain the Administration and the vigor­ous prosecution of the war, should be called to make the nomination. The proposition, which we understood has been made by some parties, that the nomination should be left entirely to the Democrats, would not lie a just and proper method of selecting a candidate to be supported by our citizens of both parties, and ought not to be adopted.

3 “ The 17 th anniversary of the organization of Lime Rock Division S. ofT., of this city, occurs on Friday of next week. The regular meeting of the Division is held on that evening.

Knickerbocker P ickle.—As now is the time for setting down beef in families for winter use, we give below the receipt for the good old fash­ioned Knickerbocker pickle which we have used ever since wc have had a family, and which we prefer to any thing else. The follow­ing is for 100 lbs. of beef, G gallons water,8 lbs salt, half coarse half fine, 3 lbs. brown sugar, 1 qt. molasses, 2 oz. salt petre, 1 oz. pcarlash. Mix and scald the whole together, and when cold (or even ho!) pour into the ves­sel upon the beef.

Naval.—Commander IVordan, whose services on the Monitor have been so highly appreciated by his country, will sail from New York next week in a better ship than even the Merrimack's antagonist His eyes are said to be well enough for duty, and his spirits excellent. By the laws of rank alone he is a commander, no special promotion having been conferred on him. His new craft, iron-clad steamer Mon­tauk, 2, will be ready in a few days. Her new gun and turret apparatus is receiving the final touches, the officers appointed have nearly all reported to Admiral Paulding, and the guns are already on board.

Iron-clad steamer Ozark, 2, nowin course of construction at Mound City, eight miles above Cairo, 111, is about 110 feet in length, will have four propellers, and a turret, twenty feet in diameter, for two large guns. The boilers are in and the armor put on for about sixty feet on both sides. First Assistant Engineer, James IV. W hittaker, is examining the vessel with a view to apply his new invention for the destruction of iron-clad boats of all kinds, hav­ing been ordered there by the Secretary of the Navy for the purpose. I t would not be proper to explain what the nature of this invention is ; suffice it to say Mr. Whitaker has letters from chief engineers in our navy and other scientific men, including Capt. Ericsson’s principal engineer, wherein they express their utmost confidence in the plan, and recommend a trial speedily. Commander Porter is said to be highly delighted with it, and gratified that he is to have the opportunity of testing it first.

I t will be remembered that we published a letter written on board screw-sloop Kearsarge, when in the Bay of Algeciras, announcing the the invention of Engineer Whittaker, then of the K. above alluded to. The invention was spoken of in the most extravagant terms of praise, and Engineer W. was about to leave for home to lay it before the Department. It now appears that, sanctioned by 6ome of our best officers, a trial is to be made on the Ozark. Any hint as to the nature of tho invention seems to be most rigorously guarded against and it is to be hoped that the affair will prove successful. The letter alluded to above was published in the Gazette in the early part of October last.

The Richmond correspondent of the Charles­ton (S. C. ) Mercury, after reviewing the mili­tary situation of affairs in Virginia, concludes thus: “ The occupation of Fredericksburg is merely a preliminary step in tho contemplated grand attack upon Richmond, which will be made in overwhelming force by land and water, by a column from Fredericksburg, another from Suffolk, and a fleet in the James.” For such an attempt, he says, the rebel armies are pre­pared. and await the issue with tranquility, “ the people appearing to feel more concerned about provisions, when the armies reach this vicinity, than anything else.”

Letter from the 26th Regim ent.Newport News, Va., >

Nov. 30, 1862. JEditor of Gazette,—Pear Sir:— I send you

this week a few facts concerning our regiment, which, though hastily written, may furnish some interest for your paper, aB many of the readers of its pages are those whose sons, broth­ers or friends have names on tho rolls of the 26th, and are ever anxious to hear from them either by the silence of the pen or the ticking of the type. I t is pleasant in the hours of absence to peruse the letters written by those active hands a t home, suggested by warm, sympathetic thoughts ever regarding our wel­fare, and it must be equally agreeable for those at homo to ponder o’er the pages of their own dear absent friends and thus recall the pleasant scenes connected with their former presence.

The twenty-sixth Maine Regiment, of which your friend is a member, left barracks in Ban­gor, Thursday morning, Oct. 23d, and reached Camp Casey, on Arlington Heights, the ensu­ing Monday, with the only latal causalty of one man killed. Alphonso Clark of Scarsmont, a member of Co. A, was killed by the locomo­tive, almost instantly, in attempting to cross the tracks.

IVe were treated friendly a t all our stopping places'in passing through and cheered lustily at every depot and in nearly every village till we arrived in Baltimore, which, though deep­ly imbedded in patriotism, contains many latent coals of disloyalty. Secession express­ions are screened by the civil authorities and thus Baltimore is nominally loyal.

We were in Camp Casey on Arlington Heights, under the military direction of Gen. Casey, and receiving instruction from Col. Francis Fessenden of the 25th Maine Reg’t, acting Brigadier General, till the 15th inst., when we received the following special order

“ Head Quarters, Casey’s Division, I Washington, Nov. 15, 1862. J

Special Order, No. 10.The 26th Regiment, Maine Vols., will pro­

ceed immediately to Alexandria, Ya., and will there embark under the directions of Lieut Raymond, A. D. C. The regiment will be fur­nished with four days cooked rations. Col. Rucker will furnish necessary transportation.

By order of Gen. Casey,ROBERT N. SCOTT, A . A . A . G?*

Knapsacks wero packed, rations cooked, haversacks filled, and preparations made to start the ensuing morning, according to the special order of Col. Hubbard, promulgated that evening.

Early Sunday morning, before daybreak, 1 was awakened by the tramping of passing Cavalry, and proceeded directly from the com­forts of a camp bank to leave our close quar­ters nnd to observe the movements within the encampment. All the camps were lighted a long time before reveillee, and the encampment was literally on fire. The burning of straw, surplus wood, and other needless eamp aecu mutations, illuminated the surrounding space.

At 7 o’clock all was packed and in readiness for removal. At 7 1-2 tho 26th “ broke camp,” and a t 8 started towards Alexandria, receiving copious showers of applause from our neighboring regiments and many “ words of cheer.”

The Regimental band of the 25th accorn pauied us to Fort Albany and gave us several 1 invigorating valedictories ’ which, as we left them there, enlived us and gave us a relish for marching which terminated not till we arrived at Alexandria, a t about 10 o’clock, A. M., where the main part of the regiment remained till preparations could be made for their em­barkation. The transport teams were driven to the wharf, unloaded and the baggage carried on board, after which the regiment was marched down, the five companies on the right conducted on board the steamer Pocahontas, and the five on the left on board the Matanzas. While em­barking, various suppositions were advanced concerning our destination, yet no one seemed to know, “ not even the elect,” where we should next pitch our tents, as, like all military motions, ours was made under sealed orders.

Some supposed we would disembark a t For­tress Monroe, others expressed the thought that we should proceed immediately to Texas.

In the afternoon the l ’eeahontas and Matan­zas drew off into tho Potomac and rode at anchor during the night below Alexandria as it was not considered prudent to take them down the river in the night as the water is very shoal in many places and the boats deep in draught.

Next morning at daybreak found us on our way down the river, and soon we beheld, with crowded thoughts, the home and tomb of Washington, Mt. Vernon.

Onaceouut of a drizzling rain all the officers of the left wing proceeded from the deck to the cabin and there seated themselves at the break­fast table, while the poor privates and non­commissioned officers were obliged to gnaw salt junk and hard bread from their haveisacks on deck.

A dense fog continued during the day, which prevented liberal views along the banks of the Potomac, yet we saw enough to convince us of the desolating powers of war in the compari­son of that portion of the two banks which fell under our inspection.

On the Maryland side might be seen rich crops of corn yet ungarnered, and stacks of grain and hay unmolested, and vegetation seem­ed undisturbed by the tramp of the warrior, while the Virginia side seemed cut into small, irregular pastures by military roads, and these pastures were desolated and down-trodden by

Suspicious Admission.—The editor of the Portland Courier says he saw no moon on the night of the eclipse, although he did see Fenus in the evening.

bers of our regiment are unable for duty. Our boys have amused themselves Mnee their a r­rival, to the best of their ability, and seem to bo on the yui vine for Gen. Banks to arrive that they may join in his expedition. Their expec­tation is to proceed to Charleston, and they have brilliant anticipations of going into win­ter quarters there. Such objects are more easi­ly anticipated than afchieved. The Galena, Monitor and New Ironsides lie below us in the river, and the Rjckland lies at the wharf. She has been running regularly, twice a day, be­tween the Fortress and Newport News until re­cently. She Is running now between the For­tress and Norfolk.

Nov. 30, 1862.Just returned from an excursion on board

the Monitor, Galena, Ironsides and from the wreck of the Cumberland. ’The captains of those three boats express an expectation to try Richmond again via. Fort Darling, and seem to have considerable confidence in their power to capture it in cooperation with land forces, not­withstanding the deep impressions made by the guns of Fort Darling upon the deck and turret of the Monitor and plating of the Galena, on the 15th of last May. Capt. Paulding, of the Galena, is of the opinion that the expedition of Banks will proceed on a trial trip in the direc­tion of Richmond. Tho captain of the Iron­sides says he is willing to test the strength of his ship a t Fort Darling, or against any flotilla that can be organized by the rebels, lie seems to have perfect confidence in its power to with­hold the steep-pointed projectiles. The spars of the Cumberland were taken out yesterday and a portion of one floated ashore and was used by the Yankee boys of the 22d and 26th Maine in making staffs, pen-holders and other relics for preservation. The Congress is also furnishing material for relics, and the boys are sending them to their friends at home to furnish conversation on their return.

Heavy firing was heard last night and during a portion of this forenoon, in the direction of Williamsburg.

The new Monitor was towed up to Fortress Monroe last night.

That I may not weary the readers of the Gazette, I will close by saying, your friends in the 26th are in excellent spirits and think the prospect very good for a successful winter cam­paign. We earnestly desire and sincerely hope that a decisive victory will be gained in Vir­ginia, and the lone star will be brought back to the Union galaxy. Hard labor, fatigue and earnest fighting is before us, and, we trust, glorious victory ako.

Fraternally yours,R. II. Y.

XXXVH Congress.—Third Session.In the United States Senate Friday, a resolu­

tion was adopted requesting of the President information relative to the Indian massacres in Minnesota. Secretary Chase’s report was re­ceived. After some business of minor import­ance the Senate went into executive session.— In the House the Military Committee were in­structed to inquire whether some method can­not be adopted by which furloughs and dis­charges may be more speedily effected, in order that the sick and wounded might beable to re­cover their health at home. A resolution was offered expressing firm confidence in the Union cause and declaring it to bo the duty of all loyal citizens, regardless of minor differences of opinion, to pledge themselves to its defence.— I t was adopted with a single dissenting voice. A resolution offered by Mr. Vallandigham, in favor of the Union as it was, was laid on the table. The House adjourned to Monday.

The Congressional Committee on the conduct of the war have appointed Messrs. Covode of Pennsylvania, Gouch of Massachusetts and Odell of New York, a sub-committee to investi­gate the alleged abuses at the camp of the con­valescents, the condition of the sick and wound­ed, the conduct of army surgeons, e tc .; tho general efficiency of the army is also given to them for consideration.

In the United States Senate, Monday, numer­ous petitions in favor of the bankrupt law were presented. Several resolutions of inquiry were adopted. A resolution was offered proposing certain amendments to the Constitution to alter the mode of electing the President and vice- President, according to a plan which is given in the report. In the House a bill was introduced to indemnify the President, and others for sus­pending the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus and acts done in pursuance thereof, which excited some debate, the House refusing to reject it, 34 against 90. T ta remaining business of the day was of minor importance.

In the United States Senate, Tuesday, a com­munication was received from the Secretary of War in answer to the resolution calling for information relative to the sale of colored free­men captured by the rebels, &c., that no infor­mation on the subject was in possession of the Department. A resolution relative to govern­ment arrests excited some debate. In the House there was a dehate on the admission of the pro­posed State of Western Virginia. The bill amendatory of the internal revenuo act, in which collectors, assistant collectors, assessors and assistant assessors arc authorized to ad­minister oaths was passed.

In the U. S. Senate, Thursday, a bill was re­ported to establish an arsenal anil ordnance de­pot in New York harbor.

Fredericksburg Attacked.

One Huuilred and seventy-siv guns thundering- upon the city.

THE CITY IN ELAMES.

Washington, Dec. 11.At 6 o’clock this morning, 143 guns opened

on the. devoted city of Fredericksburg, and up to the latest moment the tiring has continued without inturruption. Its destruction appears certain. The enemy opened fire at 7 o’clock, but thus far have done uo injury. Gen. Frank­lin’s grand division is crossing tho river three miles below the city, having constructed bridges with but slight opposition from the enemy.— The gunboats are shelling the enemy 15 miles below the city.

Thursday Evening, Dec. 11. But little firing took place between 1 and

3 o'clock, during which time all the available batteries were placed in position. They then numbered 176 guns.

At a signal, all the batteries opened upon the city. The fire was terrible.

The shot and shell went crashing through the houses setting them on fire, causing a dense smoke, which, together with the explosion of so large a quantry of powder almost hid the city from view. It soon became evident, how­ever, as the rebel sharp shooters could not be driven from their hiding-places, that, in order that the bridges might be thrown over a bold dash must be made, a call for Volunteers was ordered.

Hundreds of bold fellows immediately stepped forward ; all could not go. About one hun­dred were selected. They were soon on their way in boats, the artillery thundering a per­fect storm of iron hail, upon the opposite bank, under cover of which, they landed, but not without loss. They rushed upon the enemy, killing several and taking one hundred and one prisoners,who were safely transferred to the oth­er side. A sufficient force is now upon the ene­my's side of the river to resist any attack that is likely to be made. The indications arc that the battle will be fought to-morrow.

The enemy were 24,000 strong, divided into four divisions, under Generals Parsons, Marmaduke and Rains, all under General Hindman, and embraced the flower of the rebel trans-Miss­issippi army, well supplied with 18 pieces of artillery. The enemy flanked Gen. Blunt’s position a t Cane Ilill, and made a sudden attack on Gen. Herron’s forces to prevent them from uniting with Gen. Blunt.

Hig­gins was arrested a t Lewiston about four weeks since but Sawyer made his escape and has been residing at Lawrence under the assumed name of John O’Brien.

Ship building is taking a brisk start down east. The Calais Ailoertiser says that Messrs. Chip- man and Bolton of St. Stephen are making preparations to lay the keels for two vessels, one of five hundred and the other of twelve hundred tons purthen. Also that a master builder from Boothbay has determined to com­mence operations in Calais immediately. Also that two or three vessels are in course of con­struction in the shipyards of Messrs. Hinds, Kelley and Gilmoro. Also that St. John men are going to build two large ships in St. An­drews this winter, and Wm. Whitlock, Esq., is going to build a middling sized one.

We feei prompted to write a few words in praise of Capt. Liesgang, of the Matanzas, and his officers in general. Their expression of warm hospitality afforded us pleasure nearly equal to the sweets of home. They furnished us good accommodations, good rooms and good food. The second night was made a literal jubilee and all the officers enjoyed themselves in the cabin as much, apparently, as they would surrounded by the sweet influences of home.

We renewed our journey a t 8 A. M., the en­suing morning and arrived between Fortress Monroe and the Rip Raps at 12 1-2 o’clock. With the Pocahontas alongside and between us and the Fortress, wc cast anchor. New scenes were thrown upon the tablets of memory, and the wonders of Fortress Monroe was looked upon for the first time by a regiment of rude Yankee boys. The Adjutant came on board and requested the Lieut. Col. to come on board the Pocahontas, which request was granted and he accompcnied the Adjutant, 6oon returning to our boat with the statement that wc should disembark at Newport News and there pitch our tents. That afternoon and the next day, till 10 o’clock A. M., we remained between the Furtress aud Rip Raps, nothing of importance taking place, except the boarding of the Mystic to bring provisions for the troops, which some of the breadless boys considered a noteworthy occurrence. At 10 o’clock A. M., Nov. 19th, we were on our way from Fortress Monroe and in progress to Newport News. The walls of the fort soon grew narrow in the distance and intervening lands closed the scene and prompt­ed to new inspections. At 11 A. M. we were drawn up by the side of the Pocahontas, a t the wharf a t Newport News,with the little Monitor just outside, and the masts and rigging of the Cumberland looming obliquely through the fou above the smooth surface of the water, as a me­morial of the dead who there found watery graves. After the regimental stores of the Pocahontas had been taken out she withdrew into the river and the Matanzas drew up to take her place in tho process of disembarkation. The regimental line was again formed at 1 o'clock P. M., the 26th Maiue was marched in good order from the wharf eastward, past Gen. Corcoran's headquarters,-past the barracks of the 22d Maine regiment, to a beautiful plain surrounded by evergreens and almost surround­ed by rifle pits, and possessing every facility for camp comfort. In the rear are springs of clear water,.on the front, a white sand beach, a splendid bathing place and a great “ fowling basin,” from which the “ gunners ” furnish themselves an occasional meal on sea fowl. On this, the plain of our present habitation, the regiment proceeded to the rear into column, and stacked armB to nwait the arrival of their tents and baggage. They soon arrived, and the mechanism of the 26th was displayed in the structure of temporary cabins which they con­structed with lumber procured from an old hut on the beach, formerly occupied by the rebels. They constructed on that day the cabins in which we still live, though many of the mem-

The Campain in tut Southwest.—The desti­nation of Gen. Grant’s army is not known, but it is generally stated that he will not move on Vicksburg but leaving that duty specially to Gen. McClernand, he will, in conjunction with Sherman and Hovey, whip Pemberton, and then proceed southeast on Mobile. Pemberton can hardly escape giving battle, and if he does he is bound to get soundly whipped. Moreover, retreat, with the present positions of the Fed­eral forces watching his movements, will be almost impossible. Rosccrans has Bragg in such position that he cannot interpose in the way to Mobile; and, looking at matters in the Mississippi Valley as they now stand, the St Louis Republican thinks there does uot seeme to lie any reasonable doubt of a complete and finishing campaign against the rebellion in the Southwest.

A Long March.—We have before beard, of loDg and tedious marches which our troops have hadjto undergo, but nothing that will be­gin to compare with a march which Co. A, 3d United States artillery, have performed. They marched from New San Pedro; in California, to Fort Fillmore, on the Rio Grande, in fifty days—a distance of nine hundred miles ! This is a average of eighteen miles per day, is with­out a precedent.

Information has been received in Washington that the Central Railroad from San Francisco to Nevada will be carried on to a success. Out of three millions of subscriptions required, four hundred thousand were got in Sacramento in one day. Two millions dollars are set down as the share of San Francisco. The yearly cost of freights to Washoe, in Nevada, is estimated at six millions. Tho entire length of the rail­road will be two hundred and seventy miles, and the highest grades over the mountains will be eighty feet to the mile. This road is to be part and parcel of the great Pacific Railroad.

The sorghum stalk is used for sugar or molasses, as fully ns possible, and the wine is then made from tho refuse, the crushed and juiccless splinters.

tionsand kept their overwhelming, numbers at bay. The 20th Wisconsin captured a rebel battery of four heavy guns, but were forced to abandon them under a murderous fire. The 19th Iowa also took the same battery and fought most desperately, but were also obliged to yield it. Almost every regiment distin-

uislied itself.About 4 o'clock Gen. Blunt arrived from

Cane Hill, with 5000 men and a strong force of artillery, and attacked the rebels in the rear. The rebels made desperate efforts to capture his batteries, but were repulsed with terrible slaughter.

We held the whole field at dark, and before 9 o’clock that night the entire rebel force was in full retreat over Boston Mountains. Our entire loss in killed and wounded was 600.— Tho rebel loss was 1500 by their own admis­sion.

Several of the rebel officers were killed, among them Col. Stein, commanding a brigade, and formerly a Brigadier of the Missouri State guard. Only a few prisoners were taken.

We captured 4 cassions filled with amunition.Lieut.-Col. McFarland of the 18th Iowa Reg­

iment was the only field officer killed on our side. Major Hubbard of the 1st Missouri Cav­alry was taken prisoner.

Dec. 8.—Reports from the river stations note several deaths from exposure during tho- past forty-eight hours.

la rge quantities of supplies are prevented from landing a t Aquia and Potomac creeks by low water and iec. Notwithstanding this the army generally is provisioned for twelve days ahead.

There have been no movements of import­ance to-day. Many of the regiments are crect-

~ huts. The impression, however, is preva­lent that the present quiet will be of short du­ration.

H eadquarters Army of tiie Potomac, Dee. 9. —The weather is milder, aud the snow has melted considerably.

An officer who came through from Alexandria by land, with a strong escort, was told at Dumfries that 16 suttlcrs, with their wagons, were captured by White’s rebel cavnlry last week, and the owners made to drive their own teams to some rebel station in the interior. White is represented as having a large regiment of cavalry. I t has for some days been consider­ed unsafe to pass beyond Dumfries without a strong escort.

A special court martial met to-day to try John W. Irvine on the charge of being a spy, hs having been captured within our lines. The accused was a private in the 9th Virginia caval­ry, and was captured near his father's house in the vicinity of Ilartwoud Court House. It is understood that the Court have agreed upon a finding, the result of which is not known.

The following General Order has just been published :—

“ No person will be allowed to cross the lines in the direction of the enemy without a pass from these headquarters.

(Signed) “ Lewis R ichardson,Assistant 'Adj’t-General.

F r o m N e w b e r n .Newbern, via. Fortress Monroe.—Great dis­

satisfaction exists in the interior, and an im­pression prevails there that a victory by Gen. Burnside will be followed by the abandonment of the border States by the rebels, including North Carolina and Tennessee.

The Savannah Republican says the total rebel loss by the recent battles ie 75,000 men.

The same paper says the people of Charles­ton pulled up all their lead pipes, contributing 60,000 pounds to the rebel government which issues recipts for all lead pipe or other fixtures, agreeing to replace them at the end of the war.

F r o m S o n F rn n c ia co .San Francisco, Dec. 8.—Business is exceed­

ingly dull, and it is hardly possible to sell any kind of goods. Butter is dull a t 25c. per pound. Copperas is quiet a t 5c. per pound.

Capt. Waterman has returned from the wreck of the steamer Gulden Gate, and reports that the Mexicans residing in the neighborhood have saved from $150,000 to $200,000 in treasure. Other treasure in boxes is doubtless buried in the sand below water mark, and may be found by chance rather than by intelligent search The employes of the wrecking company are con­tinuing the work upon the wreck with a div­ing apparatus.

Tho city of Augusta has furnished 533 men for the war.

F r o m F o r tr e ss M o n ro e .Fortress Monroe, Dec. 6.—Twenty rebel pris­

The flag of truce steamboat New York ar­rived this afternoon from city point, but brings no passengers.

Ths Richmond Enyutrer of the 3d has the following :—

Two deserters just in from Washington, N. C., report an abolition fleet a t Newburn, and that Wilmington is to be attacked this week, The report of a skirmish at Cove Creek is un­founded.

Cliff's renegade regiment is devasting Mor­gan County, Kentucky.

The following resolutions unanimously passed the Uonse of Commons of North Carolina on Thursday la s t:

Resolved, That the Confederate States have the means and the will to sustain and perp^fci- ate the government they have established, and to that end North Carolina is determined to contribute all of her power and resources.

Resolved, That the separation between tho Confederate States and the United States is final, and that the people of North Carolina will never consent to a reunion at any time or upon any terms.

Resolved, That we have full confidence in the ability and patriotism of his excellency Presi­dent Davis, and that his administration is en­titled to the cordial support of all patriotic citizens.

Resolved, That we heartily approve of the policy for the conduct of the war set forth by his excellency Governor Vance, in his inaugur­al address and message to the General Assem­bly, and that he ought to be unanimously sup­ported in the manly and patriotic stand he has taken for our independenee.

W heeling, Va., Dec. 6.The State Senate to-day passed a preamble

and resolution setting forth that Mr Carlisle has violated the instructions of the body that elected him, in failing to sustain the legitimate efforts of the Government to suppress the in­surrection, in opposing by his vote and speech­es in and out of the U. S. Senate, means abso­lutely necessary to the preservation of the Union and enforcement of the laws, and in op­posing the admission of Western Virginia into the Union, and requesting him to resign his seat in the United States Senate.

The resolution will come up in the House on Monday, and will probably pass by a large ma­jority."

In the house to-day. a resolution was offered requesting the U. S. House of Representatives to pass the new State bill now pending before it, without alteration or amendment. It will come up on Monday, and will probably pass by a nearly a unanimous vote.

Governor Pierpont's message endorses the emancipation policy of President Lincoln.

A St. Paul, Minnesota, despatch of Monday says:—A body of 150 citizens armed with knives, hatchets, and other weapons, forced their way through the guard with the intention of murd­ering the Indian prisoners confined at Camp Lincoln, Mankato, but were surrounded, cap­tured, and released on parole. The Governor issues a proclamation urging the people of Min­nesota not to throw away their good name by acts of lawlessnss ; that the people have just causes of complaint at the tardiness of the ex­ecutive action, but ought to find reason for rea­son for forbearance in the absorbing cares which weigh upon the President. If he declines to punish them, then the case comes clearly with­in the jurisdiction of the civil authorities.

The most agreeable of all companies is a simple, frank man, without any pretentions to an oppressive greatness—who loves life and understands the use of i t ; obliging, alike a t all hours : above all, of a golden temper, and stead­fast as an anchor. For such a one we gladly exchange the greatest genius, the most brilliant wit, the proloundest thinker.

The First Term, for civil business, of the new Police Court, for the City of Rockland, will be holden on the first Tuesday of May, 1861, and hereafter, on the first Tuesday of each month, a t nine of the clock in the forenoon.

No action will be entered till the w rit is placed on file, which must be done during the first hour of the Court, on the returned days.

No second continuance will be granted, ex­cept by agreement of parties, or for cause shown.

No credit will be given for fees of this Court.M. W. FARWELL, Judge.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.In the approaches (to Newport harbor, Rhode Island,

two rocks have been discovered by Henry Mitchell, Assis­tant U S Coast Sutvey. ,

1. Lies about 700 yards west from the Poor-House on Coaster’s Harbor Island, and 375 yards north by east from Red Buoy No 6. This rock is uhoui one acre in extent, with 17 feet at mean low water on its shortest spot, whied is not over 6 feet square. At the lowest spring tides there will probably not be less than 15 1-2 feet on this spot

This rock lies in nearly mid-channel of the Northern Passage. To cleat it, hug closely thejiold shore of Coast­er’s Harbor Island.

2. Lies nearly on the line between the Rose Island Spindle. This rock has two sharp peaks lying NW, and 3E., with 14 1-4 feet on the outer one at mean low water. To the westward ol this rock the debth is 5; to the north­ward, 7; to the eastward, 8; and to the Southward, 7 fathoms water. This rock lies outside of the line between the Rose Island Spindle and Buoy No 3. To clear it keep on the Goat Island side of the chuuuel.

Notice is hereby given to Manners that the Baltic, Cap­tain J .1 Cotnestock, is reported to have run aground,draw­ing Id 1-2 feet, on a shoal spot situated about 2 1-2 miles due cast from Winter Quarter Shoal, on the coast ol Mary­land, and about 11 miles from the shore. This shoal is not laid down on the charts, and a sutvey of the ground will be made at the earliest practicable moment.

MEMORANDA.The Penobscot river, for about two miles below Bangor

was closed by ice on Wednesday night, Dec. 3. Twenty- one schs are frozen in at Bangor, twelve ’of which were loaded and ready to sail. The amount of pntatr.es on hoard exceeds 20.000 bushels. Efforts are miking to cut these vessels out, but it is doubtful of success, unless the weather moderates.

verses triumphant—Herrick’s is the pills, to bani-Ii all ills.

And raise up the sufferer when all others fail.These remarkable pills continue to achieve unparalelled

triumphs over discuse.

American and Foreign Patents.

R . I I . JEUDY,S O L IC IT O R O F P A T E N T S ,

Laic Agent of U. S. Patent Office, Washington, (under the Act o f 1857.)

76 S ta te S tree t, o pposite K ilb y S tree t.BOSTON.

AFTER an extensive practice of upwards of twenty years, continues to secure Patents in the United States;

also* in Great Britain, France, and other foreign countries. Caveats, Specifications, Bonds, Assignments, and all Pa­pers or Drawings for Patents, executed on liberal terms, and with despatch. Researches made into American or Foreign works, to determine the validity or utility of Pat­ents or Inventions—and legal or other advice rendered in all matters touching the same- Copies of the claims of any Patent furnished by remitting One Dollar. Assign­ments recorded at Washington.

The Agency is not only the largest in New England, but through it inventors have advantages for securing Patents, of ascertaining the patentability of Inventions unsurpassed by, if not imtneasureubly supperior to, any which can be ofi'ered them elsewhere. The Testimonials below given prove that none is MORE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PAT­ENT OFFICE than the subscriber; and as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADVANTAGES AND ABILITY, he would adil that he has abundant reason to believe, and can prove, that at no other office of the kind are the char­ges f r professional services so moderate. The immense practice of the subscriber during twenty years past, lias enabled him to accumulate a vast collection of specifica­tions and official decisions relative to patents.

These, besides his extensive library of legal and mechan­ical works, and lull accounts of patents granted in the United States and Europe, render him able, beyond ques­tion, to offer superior facilities for obtaining Patents

All necessity of a journey to Washington to procure a paten tvand the usual great delay there, are here saved in­ventors.

T E S T I M O N I A L !c 1 regard Mr. Eddy as one of the most cupable and £

Commissioner of Patefits.“ I have no hesitation in assuring inventors that they

cannot employ a person more competent and trustworthy and moie capable of putting their applications in a form to secure for them an early and favorable consideration at the Patent Office.” EDMUND BURKE,

Late Commissioner of Patents.Mr. R. II. EJdy has made for me THIRTEEN applica­

tions, on all but one of which patents has been granted, and that is now pending. Such unmistakeable proof of great talent and ability on his part leads me to reccom- mend all inventors to apply to hint to preeure their pa­tents. as they may he sure of having the most faithful at­tention bestowed on their cases, and at very reason­able charges.” JOHN TAGGART.

During eight months the subscriber, in course of his large practice, made on twice rejected applications SIX­TEEN APPEALS, EVERYONE of which was decided in his favor, by the Committee of Patents.

R. II. EDDY.Boston, Dec. 2, 1861. Iy51

T iie peculiar taint or infection which we call Sckofula lurks iti the constitutions of multitudes of men. It either produces or is produced by an en­feebled, vitiated state

-of the blood, wherein hhat fluid becomes in-

,11 competent to sustain a]the vital forces in their ’ vigorous action, and _ leaves the system to J fall into disorder and " decay. The scrofulous

contamination is variously caused by mercurial disease, low living, disordered digestion from unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the constitution, descending “ from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation ; ” indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him who says, “ I will visit the iniqui­ties of the fathers upon their children.” T he diseases which it originates take various names, according to the organs it attacks. In the lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and finally Consumption ; in the glands, swellings which suppurate and become ulcerous sores; in the stomach and bowels, derangements which pro­duce’ indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver com­plaints; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous affections. These all having the same origin, require the same remedy, viz. purification and invigoration of the blood. Purify the blood, and these dangerous distempers leave you. With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you can­not have health ; with that “ life of the flesh ” healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease.

A yer’s S arsapariU ais compounded from the most effectual anti­dotes that medical science has discovered for this afflicting distemper, and for the cure of the disorders it entails. That it is far superior to any other remedy yet devised, is known by all who have given it a trial. That it does com­bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect

Tipon this class of complaints, is indisputably proven by the great multitude of publicly known and remarkable cures it has made of the following diseases : K ing’s Evil or Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup­tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Ery­sipelas, Rose or St. Anthony's Fire, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu­berculous deposits in the lungs, White Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases, Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole series of complaints that arise from impurity of the blood. Minute reports of individual eases may he*4ound in Ayer’s American Almanac, which is furnished to the druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be learned the directions for its use, and some of the remarkable cures which it has made when all other remedies had failed to afford relief. Those eases are purposely taken from all sec­tions of the country, in order that every reader may hare access to some one who can speak to him of its benefits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far more subject to disease and its fatal results than are healthy constitu­tions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does greatlv shorten, the average duration of human life. The vast importance of these considera­tions has led us to spend years in perfecting a remedy which is adequate to its cure. This we now offer to the public under the name of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, although it is com­posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the best of Sursnparilla in alterative power. Byits aid vou may protect yourself from the suffer­ing anil danger of these disorders. Purge out the foul corruptions that rot and fester in tho blood; purge out the causes of disease, and vigorous health will follow. By its peculiar virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func­tions, and thus expels the distempers which lurk within the system or burst out on any part of it.

We know the public have been deceived by many compounds of Sarsaparilla, that promised muck and did nothing; hut they will neither he deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues have been proven by abundant trial, and there remains no question of its surpassing excellence for the cure of the aiilieting diseases it is in­tended to reach. Although under the same name, it is a very different medicine from any other which has been before the people, ami is far more effectual than any other which has ever been available to them.

use a sufficient length of time to show that it gives en­tire satisfaction, and actually is the more valued the more it is tried- Thia invention is a step in advance of all others in this department, embracing all and a little more of their excellencies, and yet happily overcoming all their delects. By means ofit a Bed Bottom is obtained which is ns flex­ible as hair, and yet so recuperative as to bring itself into its place with great facility. It is adapted to the invalid, the aged, and all who linger in suffering and weakness. They are made of good materials, warranted strong and durable, and not liable to get out of order.

T e s t i m o n i a l s .A New Bed. Anderson’s Spring Bed Bottom is one o

the comforts of the age, as we know from experience. The first morning after we used it we got up easier and retired at night with a higher appreciation of a comfortable bed than ever before. It is an economical feature in a family —a substitute for fepthers—and its elastic properties are

>rv great.—Kennebec Courier.Mr. D. K. Frohock has furnished the beds in my house

with the Anderson Spring Bed Bottom, and I take pleasure in recommending this article as the most convenient, economical and comfortable thing of the kind with which ’ quainted. A. II. ABBOTT,Principal of Family School at Little Blue, Farmington, Me.

We, the undersigned, having used the Anderson Spring Bed Bottom, E. Hennessey’s Patent, find it to be all that it is recommended. We very cheerfully advise all who have any dosire for ease and comfort, to fill up their beds with these Spring Bottoms. We unhesitatingly say, that

would not dispose of ours for ten times the cost, to be without them in our families.

Farmington, Feb. 28, 1862.We have introduced several of the justly celebrated

time past, and pronounce it superior to anything I have known for ease, adaptation to the form and health. I think it preferable to the Spiral Spring bed which I have just laid aside for this. I cun with confidence recommend it to general use,

E. C. BRETT, Counseller at Law.Oldtown, May 20, 1862.The Anderson Spuing Bed Bottom.—This is an im­

provement upon anything of the kind heretofore invented. Having personally tested its excellence, we feel justified in

I recommending it to the public as an easy spring bed, not liable to get out of order, furnishing no possible refuge for Yermin, and presenting no objections that we can conceive

I of to its universal adoption. We wish everybody would enjoy the luxury of its use, and surely there are very few

unable to do so, as it is ufi'orded at a surprisinglylow rale.—Maine Farmer.

DR. MATTISON’S INDIAN EMMENAGOGUE.

This celebrated Female Medicine, pos­sessing virtues unknown of anything else of the kind, and proving effectual ufter all others have failed, is designed for botli married and single ladies, and is the very best thing known for the purpose, as it will bring on the monthly sickness in cases of obstruction, after all other reme­dies of the kind have been tried in vain.

O v er 2 0 0 0 B O T T L E S have now been sold without a single failure when taken as directed, and without the least injury to health in any case. 0*11 is put up in bottles of three different strengths, with full directions for using, and sent by Express, closely sealed, to ail parts of the

_ country.PRICES:—Full strength, §10; Half strength, §5; Quar­

ter strength, §3 per bottle.[j2T Remember! This medicine is designed expressly for

Obstinate Cases, in which all other remedies of the kind have failed to cure ; also that it is warranted as represent­ed in every respect, or the price will he refunded.

O ’ BEWARE OF IMITATIONS ’ None genuine and warranted unless purchased directly of Dr. M. at his R E M E D I A L I N S T I T U T E lor S P E C I A L D I S E A S E S . No. 28 Union street Providence, R. I.

XT This Specialty embraces all diseases of a Private nature both of MEN and WOMEN, by a regularly educat­ed physician of twenty years’ practice, giving them his whole attention.

Xj> Consultations by letter or otherwise are strictly confidential, and medicines will be sent by Express, se­cure lrotn observation, to all parts of the United Slates. Also, accommodations for Ladies from abroad wishing for a secure and quiet RETREAT, with good care until restored to health.

C A U T IO N .— It has been estimated, that over Two Hundred T housand Dollars aie paid to swindling quacks annually, in New England alone, without any ben­efit to those who pay it. All this comes from trusting without inquiry, to men who are alike destitute of hon­or, character, and skill, aad whose only •recommenda­tion is their own false and extravagant assertions, in praise of themselves If, therefore, you would avoid be-ing humbugged, take no i word. What hispretensions are, but MAKE INQUIRY :—it will t nothing and may save you many regrets ; for, as advert is-

ig physicians, in nine cates out of ten are bogus, there is no safety in trusting any of them, unless you know who and what they are.

O ’ Dr. M. will send free , by enclosing one stamp as above,a I’hamplet on DISEASES OF WOMEN, and on Private Diseases generally, giving full Information, with the most undoubted references and testimonials without which, no advertising physician or medicine of this kind is deserving of ANY CONFIDENCE WHATEVER.

Im u o rtan t to the AfflictedDR. DOW continues to be consulted nt his office, Nos. 7

and 9 Endicott Street, Boston, on all disenses of a PRIVATE OR DELICATE NATURE.

By a long course of study and practical experience of unlimited extent, l)r. D. has now the gratification of pre­senting the unfortunate with remedies that have never, since he first introduced them, failed to cure the in si alarming cases of

GONORRIICEA AND SYPHILIS.^Beneath his treatment, all the horrors of venereal and

impure blood, Impotency, Scrofula, Gonorrhcca, Ulcers, pain and distress in the regions of procreation, Inflamma­tion of the Bladder and Kidneys, Hydrocele, Abcesses, Humors, frightful Swellings, and the long train of horrible symptoms attending this class of disease, are made to be­come us harmless os the simplest ailings of a child.

SEMINAL WEAKNESS.Dr. D. Devotes a great part of his time to the treatment

of those cases caused by a secret and solitary habit, which ruins the body and mind, unfitting the unfortnnate Indi­vidual for business or society. Some of the sad and mel­ancholy effects produced by early habits of youth, are •Weakness of the Back and limbs, Dizziness of the Head, Dimness of sight, Palpitation of the heart, Dyspepsia, Ner­vousness, Derangement of the digestive functions, Symp­toms of Consumption. &c. The fearful efiects on the mind nre much to be dreaded ; loss of memory, confusion of ideas, depression of spirits, evil forebodings, aversion of society, self-distrust, timidity, «fcc., are among the evils produced. Such persons should before contemplating matrimony, consult a physician of experience, and be at once restored to health and huppiness.

Patients who wish to remain under Dr. Dow’s treat­ment a few days or weeks, will be furnished with pleas­ant rooms, and charges for board moderate.

Medicines sent to all parts of the country, with full di­rections for use, on receiving description of your cases.— Dr. Dow has also for sale the French Capones, warranted the best preventive. Order by mail. Three for §1, and a red stamp.

DR. DO W,Physician and Surgeon, No.7and 9 Endicott Street, Boston, is consulted daily for all diseases Incident lo ihe female system. Prolapans Uteri, oi falling of the Womb, Fluor Albus, Suppression, and other menstrual derangements, nre all treated upon new pathological principles, and speedy relief guaranteed in a very few days. So invariably certain is this new mode of treat­ment, that most obstinate complaints yield under it, and the afflicted person soon rejoices in perfect health.

Dr. Dow has no doubt had greater experience in the cure of diseases of women and children, than any other physician in Boston.

Boarding accomodations for patients who may wish to stay in Boston a lew days under his treatment.

Dr. Dow, since 1845, having confined his whole atten­tion to an office practice, for the cure of Private Diseases and FemakqComplaints, acknowledges no superior in the United States.

AKES pleasure in informing his many friends and pat- s that he is now prepared to furnish all kinds and

qualities of iBOOTri manufactured upon these CELE­BRATED LASTS, which are the latest and most improv­ed pattern yet brought before the public.

T h e A n a to m ic a l L as tis truly constructed upon Scientflc principles, constructed in accordance with the bony ligamentous conformation of the bottom of the foot, an entirely new principle and a great improvement on the old style of BOOT AND SHOE LASTS.

The principles herein suggested and followed out by careful and patient reasoning and experiment has now for the first time been practically and fully developed and ap­plied. They produce a BOOT and SHOE perfectly com­fortable and easy at first, no matter how thick or substan­tial the soles, and the importance of this for predestrian purposes cannot be exaggerated, and conferring advanta­ges which can be most sensibly appreciated by those who suffer from tender feet .

Those who have once had an opportunity to test the real advantages of these Philosophically made BOOTS will hardly he reconciled to wear any other. As one ex­claims ! “ To all pet sons who wish to have a neat fitting Boot and one in which they cau lake solid comfort 1 would say try this Last, and they will cry,

T H E H A L F H A S N O T B E E N T O L D ,”In short, this Last is made to f it the foot.

S a m p l e B o o t scan be examined and by putting on a Boot any one can b but convinced of the decided benefits of the new last.

T h e fin e s t b rn u d s o f S to ck are worked at this establishment by the best workmen in the State, and satisfaction guaranteed in all cases. All orders filled with promptness and desjiutch.

J o b b i n g of all kinds done with neatness.P. §. Thankful for the liberal patronage bestowed

upon him in the past, he hopes by strict attention to busi­ness to merit a liberal share in the future.
