The President's Message.
o the exclusion of our usual satiety, as well as
hy advertisements, we publish, this morning, the
Annual Message of Mr. FILLWRZ, in advance
many of our contemporaries. It was delivered, on
terday, at 1 o'clock, to both branches or Con
se. We have not roem to speak of its merits
demerits this week, but shall leave, for the pres
t, our readers to make their own comments upon
Its publicatinn at th.s time has necessarily de.
ed our paper a few hours. ,
ED' We have no objection to the Pennsylvanian
eying our articles without giving us credit for
•m, as ;hat is sometimes done by every paper;
I t we do object to its habit of giving credit to an•
•er paper in this City for editorials that origi
I lly appeared in the Inlelligencer. The Pennayl-
has done this in several instances recently
— l the last of which is the short article beaded
Clarion County," which appeared in. riday's is
siJe. and which wi I be lohntl, word for word, in our
paper of November 18th. It is a matter of small
m l oment to be sure ; but still, if an article is worth
ctledning at all, the credit should be given in the right
4arter,
A similar credit was wrongfully given by the
ennsylvaniaii, to the notice of Mr. DAN/EL
iOEIONEFITY ' S very able speech, in this City, on the
ot the 25th ot September. • The hardship
n I this case was that Mr. D. might suppose we had
intirely alighted him—when the truthjs. the Inlet•
igencer was the only paper here that noticed his
!that favorably. These repeated mistakes—to call
them by no harsher name—ot 'our contemporary,

117. PIOIME:Or AhDEHBON. the Great Wizard of
the North, is perf,rming his wonderful fees of
magic, at Fulton Hell, in this City. He is unques-
Itionably at the head of his prolession, in this coun
dry, and the displays of his unequalled shill attract
ed immense audiences in Philadelphia and all the,
larger cities of The Union. We have seen nothing
front the celebrated Signor Blitz, or any body else,
Ito equal him, and we advise every one to go and
see lor him=ell or herself. His stay amongst us is
I limited,his engagement in Lancaster terminating on
Friday evening—therefore, all who desire the priv.
lilege of witnessing his great magic performances ,
should embrace the present opportunity, as it may
be a long time before he comes this way again.—
He had a crowded house last evening—as a mat
ter of course.
An amusing story connected with his " Inex
haustible Bottle" will be found on our fi rst page;
I and for further particulars of what he can do, see
advertisement in another column.

the British Periodical Publications, in another col

down to the lowest figure, and the postage, under
the new act of Congress, is but a trifle. The be
ginning of the new year will be a suitable time to
commence new subscriptions, and those of our
readers who desire to have these standard English
publications, would dr, well to rend on. their sub
scriptions witnnut delay to Laos/nn Sror7 & Ca.-

nished to subscribers iii this country almost simul
taneously with their appearance in England.

The Cuban Correspondence.
The Democratic press universally condemn the
act of President Emulous, in making public the
secret c orrespondence of former administrations
with regard to the Island of Cuba, and some of the
more discreet of the Whig press also indirectly
pronounce it ill-timed and improper. It appears
that the'resolution calling for the correspondence,
if not incompatible with the public interests, was
offered by Mr. Faussurza, of Virginia, and passed
the House of Representatives on the 4th day of
February last, and remained unanswered by the
President for a period of over six months, and un
til within a day or two of-the closi of the session,
and it was only after Congress had adjourned that
it was knoWn such a messaga had been transmitted.
And then,After another period of nearl3 threemonths
had elapod, and within a few days of the re-assem
bling of the National Legislature, to and behold!
the important correspondence makes its appear
knee in print, and is published to the world under
the sanction of the Chief Magistrate.
What the President's motive was in thus making
these important state papers public, we are at a loss
to conceive, unless it was to thrown difficulties in
the way of his successor and embarrass our rela
tions with England, France and Spain. There w as
no compulsion on him to open the secrets of the
State Department and expose them to the gaze of
the world. He might have informed Congress that
those papers were of such a private and confidenti
al character, as that their publicity Would have
been incompatible with the public interests; or
be might have withheld them without assigning
any reasons at all. He has not done so, however,
and - time only can tell what evils may grow out
of his conduct in this particular. It is the first
time, we think, in the history of this or any other
civilized government, that such a course was pur
sued by the Chief Ruler, and we sincerely hope it
may be the last in our country.
Tun PCBLIC LAND9.—ReCently, Senator Dodge,
of lowa, addressed Hon. Thomas H Benton in rela
tion to the bill of Mr. Bennett, which was passed
by the House of Representatives, at the late session,
but defeated in the Senate, providing for the distri
bution among the States, of FIFTY SIGHT Antic:ma.
acres of the Public Lands. Senator Dodge is
warmly against the bill, and accompanied his let,
ter with a note from the Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office, of which the following is an ex
tract :
In ans%)er to your inquiries, I have tho honor to
state—
That the Scrip proposed to be issued Acre'.
by the House Bi ll No. 380, will em
brace about
The outsm, ding Warrants for milita
ry services include, it is estimated 44,810,540
Those yet to be issued; it is estimated,
will absorb about 4,900,000
Making a total of 107,510.540
The average amount of land disposed of for the
last ten years, is about 4,141,000 acres per annum,
consequently, at that rate, it would take about
menty..ix years to absorb the whole amount of
scrip above mentioned.
,The reply of Col. Benton is characteristic, bold,
and vigorous. He is savage on the robbery of the
public domain, and foreshadows the fight he will
have on the land speculators, jobbers, and contract
ors at Washington, when be takes his seat in the
lower House, next year.—Sun.

' The following prdamble and resolutions were
unanimously adoped by the Lancaster County Ed
ucational Association, at its late meeting in Stras

schools of which now number about four hundred,
to lead Eastern Pennsylvania in this measure of
sett-improvement. Therefore,

lowing Saturday.
Resolved, That the Boards of Directors of the va

Teachers who shall attend from a distance; publish
a plan of the proceedings of the Institute in all the
newspapers of the county; address Directors and
Teachers on the subject; and adopt any other meas

Hantusnrnu AND Soesour Rstimo.sn.—The
contract for constructing this work has, us we 'earn
from the Harrisburg Telegraph, been allotted to
Messrs. Lauman, Daugherty, Traverse and Barnum
in Company. They were altogether the lowest bid
derv, taking it less than the estimate of the engi
neer=, besides having taken $250,000 of the stock
of the company in payment for the work. It is
understood that the entire work will cost 'some
thing over a million, and it is believed it will be
finished complete in less than two years. Tile
line of the road commences opposite Harrisburg,
where it connects with the Baltimore and Cumber
land valley railroads—it runs on the west side of
the Susquehanna about eight mile; whence it cross
es to Dauphin, between which point and Harris
burg there is already a railroad connexion on the
east side of the river. From Dauphin it runs to
Sunbury, along the eastern margin of the Susque
hanna; and from thence to Lewisburg.

FARMING AND FARM PROUCCE.—The Bangor
(Me.) Whig gives us the following memorandum
of crops from 36 acres of land in the town of Wee.
ton, Me., cultivated by Mr. Samuel J. Foster, as
something extra in the way of productiveness:
30 tons of hay, 667 bushels of oats, 186 ditto
wheat, 97 ditto buckwheat. 40 ditto corn, 17 ditto
peas, 577} ditto potatoes, 812 ditto carrots, 21 ditto
turnips, 370 ditto potatoes. The average of oats
was 67 bushels per acre, of wheat 32 ditto, of buck
wheat's 6 ditto, of carrots 100 S ditto, of potatoes
7i51).
ALTOONA, Dec. 2.—One of the section boats pass•
ing over the Portage Railroad, took fire this after
noon, accidently, and being loaded with 25 kegs of
gunpowder, a tremendous explosion followed.—
The accident occurred at Plane No. 7, about four
teen miles from this town. The report was dis
tinctly hoard here, and the concussion shook the
town. The boat and truck were blown to frag
ments, and about three rods of tho track was de
stroyed. Fortunately no one was injured, as every
person connected with the train. or in the vicinity,
sought safety in flight, as soon as the boat took fire.
The track will be immediately repaired, so as to
prevent any delay to the passenger train.
BOSTON, Dec. 2.—Chickering's extensive piano
forte manufactory, in this city, was entirely de
stroyed by fire last night. The loss of Mr. Chick
ering is estimated at $130.000, of which $67,000
is insured in in this city. This disastet‘ has thrown
one hundred men out of employment. The lower
floor of the factory was occupied by stores. The
entire loss is estimated at $2,000,000.

It is believed that the above work b) Mr. Good
rich will be very acceptable to the American public
It is the result of years of toil and' labor, assisted
in his researches by several Scholars of known
ability, and has been gotten up at a great expense
by the proprietors. No pains have been spared in
the execution of the Illustrations and Mops, which
aro entirely new, prepared by the distingushed au
thor expre.,sly for the work. Indeed, all the other
historical writings of Mr. Goodrich sink into insig
nificance, when compared with this, the result of
his maturer years. We sincerely believe that One
Hundred Dollars could not purchase the same mat
ter in any other shape ; and the publishers confid
dently expect that in consideration of the greatht
erary value of the work, the large sum expended
in preparing it for the press, and the exceedingly
moderate price at whice it is offered, that it will be
favorably received by the American public.
The work will not be offered fur sale in Book
Stores, but wi!l be rod by canvassing agents in ev
ery county in the several States, to whom the ex
clusive right is given by the publishers.

4. The Westminster Review (Liberal.)
5. Blackwood's Edinburgh Review (Tory.)
A I thoug h these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub
jects. It is their literary character which gives
them their chief' value, and in that they stand con
fessedly far above all other journals of their class.
Blackwood, still under the fatherly earn of Chris
topher North, maintains its ancient celebrity, and
is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the serial
works of Bulvver and other literaty notables, writ
ten for that magazine, and first appearing in itscol
umns both in Great Britain and in the U. States.—
Such works as "The Caxtons" and "Sly New Nov
el," (both by Bulwer,) "The Green Hand," "Kate
Stewart," and other serials, of which numerous ri
val editions are issued by the leading publishers in
this country, have to be reprinted by those publish
ers from the pages of Blackwood, alter it has been
issued by Messrs. Scott Co.. so that subscriber,
to the reprint of that Magazine may always rely on,
having the earliest reading of these fascinating tales.

To Physicians throughout the U
StateN.
DEEMING it unnecessary to remind any mem
ber of the Medical profession, of the estab
lished medical properties at pu-e Holland Gin, in
many diseases of dropsical tendency, I respectfully
invite your examjgat,on of a very superior article,
manufactured by myse f exclusively, at Schiedam,
in Holland, by a process pecu.iar to my own Fac•
tory. It is flavored and medicated, not by the com
mon harsh berry, but by the' choice botanical vari
ety of the aromatic Itaaian Juniper Berry, whose
more vinous extrar t is disti led and rectified with
its spirituous solvent, and thus becomes a concen
trated tincture, of exquisite flavor and 'aroma, al
together transcendent, in its cordial and medicinal
sroprrties, to any Holland's Gin heretofore known.
Amid the influx of interior distillation. with
which :his country is now flooded, physicians find
no difficulty in procuring a good and puro Gin,
which they can prescribe with confidence in ite
benefical effects. As an importer of twenty years'
standing, in the City of Now York, and possessing
a matured experit nce in the manufacture of Eel
rand Gin especially, I beg to submit to your atten
tion my "Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps," as one
which cannot fail to realize your utmost expecta
tion, and I shall be happy to forward to you a bot
tle of it, free of charge, in answer to a letter inti
mating your readiness to accept it.
It is now• scarce4'one year Since I have proparml
and distributed my Schiedam Gin exclusively for
medical purposes; yet, within that brief period, I
have received one thousadd letters, both from plin
sicians and patients, testifying to its really extraor
dinary efficacy in Gravel, Incipient Dropsy, and af
fections of the Kidneys and Bladder generally. I
have no doubt that it "maid yeild similar results;
with prec elan and certainty, in your own profes
sional experience. Put up in Pl. and Qt. Bottles
with my name upon the bottle, cork and label, with
an essay upon its properties. This article should
be in the hand of every traveller.
