Description ofth® HoWli
, BomutTio (lotfa) June 5.
No one who has ever yisited tHe Western coun
try, can have a correct conception of the reat ap
pearance assumed by the present astoniehing.rise
of waters. The statement that the waters of the
Upper Mississippi have reached a point six feet
higher than was ever' known by the present resi
dents, carries with it the idea that such a rise must
greatly.increase the velocity of. the current and
overwhelm every thing in its onward course. Such
an idea presents an amazingly inadequate impres
sion of the facts. .. .
Up and down this mighty stream there are ex
tensive bottoms on either side, stretching from one
to ten miles to high bluffs, on whose summits the
table oi; prairie' land commences. These bottoms,
except some of the lowest, form the banks of the
river in its ordinary stage. The soil of these . '
toms is alluviorf of the richest -kind, .and holds ou
strong, inducements for farmers to cultivate such
land’ Many valuable farms areKjin consequence
opened on these rich bottoms. Generally, the
bluffs come boldly to the river, and form its only
shore on one side, while on the other, bottom land
stretches for miles into the interior. Those who
travel up and down the river the proper
season, struck with the beauty and luxuriance of
the vegetation, - where the farms are not hidden, as
is frequently the case, by a thick growth of timber
0 n the river margin of the bottom.
With this brief description, the reader who has
never seen the Mississippi will be prepared to com
prehend the extent and dreadfulness ol the present
calamity, when he is told .that the bottoms with
their beautiful farms, are now covered with water
to the depth of from two to eight feet.. As rise
after, rise comes down from .the upper country, the
water spreads itself over th&e bottoms, its only
barrier being these high and beetling bluffs, which
in many places it has already reached. This to us
is a wise ordination of Providence. In consequence
of vent given to the flood from above, by permit
ting it to spread over these bottoms in this way,
the strength' of the current in the river proper is
not very materially increased. The waters might
rush madly down with terrific velocity ;
and, being confined to narrow limits, do greater
damage than by the present order of things.
The reader can form but a feeble conception of the.
immense amount of water that ifcmust take to cre
ate this vast longitudinal ocean. Assuming that all
the rivers, with the exception of the Ohio, are now
as 'high as the Mississippi, there is at this moment .
in the valley of the Mississippi and its tributaries
an impromptu sea of fresh water five thousand |
miles long, averaging five miles in width and fif-'
teen feet in depth. .!
The principal mitigation that exhibits itself
amidst all this distress and destruction is, that it
has come upon us so gradually as to enable the
greatest sufferers to save their lives. The work of
years has been swept away. Hundreds have been
driven from their homes, and are for the present
houseless and obliged to take up their abode with
strangers. But their lives are spared, and by shar
ing in the sympathies and benevolence of those
who have not been stripped of their all, as they
have been, there is yet cause for gratitude to that
Being who causeih the‘waters to flow’for a wise
purpose.—Hawk Eye.
[A letter to the Editors Irom Burlington, says:
‘Five years will not place the country in this vi
cinity in as good a situation as it was before; and
thousands are totally ruined.’]— Pittsburg Journal.
A Sensible Argument.
The newspapers every where are discussing the
beauty and propriety of the Bloomer or new Turk
ish dress. For ourself, we care but little how the
ladies dress, so that they are beautiful, amiable and
.kind-hearted towards their husbands and “ the rest,
of mankind." One of the dress advocates, how
ever, has rather taken us by surprise. He goes fo
the Bloomer upon the score of economy, and af
firms that under the new regime three yards of yard
wide cloth will make a costume, whereas, he saysi
it takes over thirty-iix yards by present measure
ment. He therefore argues after this fashion :
“ Hence, it follows that one 'dress after the pres
ent fashion will make twelve dresses after the new
style. If there be ten millions of women within
the United States, there would thus be saved by
1 the Turkish costume many millions of yards of
good cloth, that might' be sent to the heathen, and
thus every woman in Africa and Asia, and on the
Pacific Island, to say nothing of the " unborn
babes ”of the first mentioned region,-as Aminadab
Sleek says, might be furnished with toggery from
our mere surplusage." a
fy The Western cattle dealers now use the
railroads for the transit to market of their cattle.
In a Louisville paper we see that ninety head of
beef cattle were recently sent by the Little Miami
and Columbus roads to Cleveland, and thence by
steamer to Buffalo, anil from that place by railroad
to New York city. The cost of transportation was
814,50 per head. : The owner sold immediately, on
satisfactory terms, and returned home, having been
absent eleven days. ■ Not the least accident or dif
ficulty occured, and thlere was very little shrinking
in the cattle. To drive a lot of cattle there from
the same point to New York formerly required
seventy-five days, attended with an expense of near
820 per head, and with a heavy loss by shrinkage.
The Putnam County, Ind., Sentinel states that a
company oi forty persons were recently poisoned
in Hennricks County] in that State, and that about
thirty of the number are supposed to be beyond re
covery. The Sentinel says— ’
The person implicated as being accessory to this
horrid *dced is said to; be an old woman, anxious to
get rid of some grand children. ‘She put the poi
son in a barrel of flopr which she thought Would
be used by her intended victims, but by some
means the flour passed into other hands, and was
used by a family who had collected a number of
persons together at a [quilting party. No sooner had
the repast been over [than the victims commenced
violently vomiting, exhibiting evident signs ot btf
ing poisoned. j
Mistaken. —Theiopponents of the fugitive slave
law in Vermont f nominated Lucius B. Peck, for
Governor. He declines the honor, as he believes
the fugitive slave constitutional, and rebukes
the act of the Whig Legislature of that State,
■which authorized Stkte officers to take a: fugitive
slave out of the hands of the United States officers'.
Mr. Peck, although k friend to free soil, is a Union
man, aud will abide? the compromiie.

‘ tpaiuiim Likds—The, Auditor 'General
gives the following important, notice to all per
sons in possession of or owning Unpatented Lamte
within this Commonwealth, that the , Act ol As
s*mSly passed the 10th day of April, 1835, entitled
■An Abt to graduate lands on which money is due
and. unpaid to tfie Commonwealth of Pennsy vama,-
and which Act has been extended-from timelo
time by supplementary laws, mBlapvri m thefint
Jay of December next; after which time no abate
ment can be made of any interest which may have
accrued upon the original.purchase [money. It
will therefore be highly important to fchose inter
ested to secure their patents, and' thei benefits of
the said acts and its supplements .during the time
the same will continue in force” - :
From the Boiton Morning Post,

quackery, panaceas, and wonderful cures, it is hard
ly safe to recommend any thing in the catalogue of

icine, and the testimony of good and 'eistimable cit
izens besides, we feel it a duty to give, publicity to
such a remedy. The Oxygenated Bitters sold by

Important to Farmers & Thresh
ing Machine Makers.
THE subscriber respectfully informs the public
that he has lately completed .a TRIPLE POW
ER INTERNAL GEARED HORSE POWER,
which outrivals any other in use,* _ It is made en
tirely oflroaj both Frame ana Gearing. The Jou
rnals are Cast-Steel —its weight is 600 lbs. On trial
it has proved itself capable of performings from 50
to 100 per cent, more .work than other Powers with
. the same labor of the team. It is warranted to
hold 8 horses.
I have also completed a combined THRESHER
AND CLEANER, which is capable of Threshing
and Cleaning irom 300 to 500 bushels of wheat per.
day, with from 6 to 8 Horses, and an equal number
of hands. 4 horses can thresh with it from 100 to
200 bushels per day of wheat, and 400 to 500 of
oats. It is very convenient for those who follow
Threshing, and for two or more farmers to own in
company j it is more \ convenient to move than any
machine in use. The Machine stands on the wag
on while ' threshing—the Power is loaded on the
same-wagon in moving—two horses are sufficient
to move it j it will save enough labor in threshing
2000 bushels to pay its qxtra cost. It will thresh
in the field or by a stack as conveniently as in a barn.
The cylinder and concave can readily, be adjusted
so as to thresh with equal facility both tough and dry
grain. Iti is free from the complication and liability
to get out of order of other machines of the kind,
and of less .cost—price $lOO,OO. _

the terar of human existence, none cut be named
1 of more realvdoe to mankind, than this eontnbn
tirin of Chemistry to the Healing Art. A vast trial
of its virtues throughout this broad country, has
proven beyond a doubt, that no medicine or com
bination' of medicinea yet inown, can so surely
control ‘and cure the numerous varieties of pulmo
nary disease which have hitherto swept from our
midst thousands and thousands every year* In*
deed; there is noyr abundant reason to believe a
Remedy has at length been found which can be re
lied onto cure the most dangerous affections of the
lungs.' Our space here will not permit :us to pub
lish any-proportion of the cures affected by its use,
but we would present c the following opinions of
eminent men,.and. refer farther inquiry to the cir
cular which the Agents below named, will always
be pleased to furnish free, wherein are foil partic
ulars, and indisputable proof of these facta.

PROFESSOR HITCHCOCK.
cc James C. Ayer —Sir: I have used your Cheeky
Pectoral in'my pwn case of deep seated Bronchi
tis, aud am satisfied from its chemical constitution,
that it is an admirable compound for the relief of
laryngial and bronchial difficulties. If my opinion
as to its superior character can be of any service,
you are at liberty to use it as you think proper.

« I deem the Chxrey Pectoe4L an admirable

wonderful success, to cure an inflammation of the
lungs. .
From one of the first Physicians
in Maine.
Dr. J. C. Ayer, Dowell. —Dear Sir : I am now
constantly using your Cherry Pectoral in my
practice, and prefer it to any other medicine for
pulmonary complaints. From observation of many
severe cases, I am convinced it will cure coughs,
colds, and diseases of the lungs, that have put to
defiance all other remedies.
I invariably recommend its use in cases of con
sumption, and consider it much the best remedy
known for that disease.

Opposed to all Monopolies!
THE subscribers have placed on the State Road;
an entire new line of passenger Cars, called
These Cars have no superior in point of slyle,
comfort and convenience. They have all the mod
ern improvements, and are No. 1 m every sense of
the word. This Line leaves
NO. 272, MARKET ST., PHILADELPHIA,
tevery day at 1U o’clock, A. IVI. (except the Sab
bath) for Lancaster, Columbia, York and Harrisburg,
and on its return leaves Herr’s hotel, Columbia, at
12; Lancaster at 121, and Downingtown at 2 o’clock,
P. M., and arrives at Philadelphia at 4 o’clock, in
time to take the eastern line at 5 o’clock for New
York. '
The cars are attached to the Way Tram, and
run in the rear, which gives them a decided pre
ference over any other cars in case of a collision
or a run off, which under the beat of management
will sometimes occur. • Our passengers and cars
must, from their position in the train, be compara
tively free from danger.
The subscribers are aware of the monstrous
monopoly against which they havo to contend, but
they are determined to encounter it, and relying
upon the encouragement of all who are opposed to
monopolies‘and in favor of low rates of fare, they
will run this line at the following rates,' viz :
THREE CENTS PER MILE,
no more nor no leas, under any circumstances.
These are the lowest rates at which passengers can
be carried over the road under the present rates of
toll, charged by the State, which arc two cents per
mile on each passenger, and $4,92 on each car.
Jii order that our friends may not mistake “OUR
LINE,” we give the color of the cars, which is
true .blue, and ask the patronage of a generous
Dublic to sustain us in our undertaking.
