    Storming Stony Point.
•" The . night had already settled down gloomy
and foreboding, on the evening of the 15th of
July, 1779 ; When the advancing column of a
little atmy li:hose Uniform betokened it to be
American, emerged from a thick wood on the
shore of the thidson and in au-instant the dim
and shadowy prospect disclosed to them along
the bank ul the river opened to their sight. Far
away lay Verplank's Point, now buried in a
mass of shadow, while-on the hithet side of the
river, dark, gloomy and frowning, rose up the
craggy heirdits of.tonY A ßoint. Washed on three
sides by the Hudson, and prrtectedon the oth•
er, except along a narrow road; by a morass. the
fort was deemed one of the most impregnable on
the river ; and its capture regarded as almost im
possible. Yet M achieve that gallant purpose.
this little army was now upon its march.
A turn in the road soon hid them from the
river ; and after a silent march of some minutes
duration. they arrived within three miles and a
half of the enemy's line, and battleg at the com
mand of their officer formed into columns for the
attack. Beginning again their march, they soon
reached the .marshy ground at the base of the
hill.
" Hist !" said the lots voice of the General
from the front. " we are high enough—din:l . ."
The brder passed in a whisper down thebne,
and the column paused on the edge of the mo
rass. It was a moment of suspense and peril.
Every man felt that in a few minutes the fate of
their hazardous enterprise would be determined,
and that they would either be cold in death, or
the American flag float in triumph over the dark
promontory ahead, now scarcely discernable
through the thick gloom of midnight. Yet not a
lip quivered, not a cheek blanched at that crisis.
AbOut twenty paces iethe front column, had
halted, the forlorn hope of one hundred and fif
ty men unloaded pieces and bayonets fixed,
while farther on a smaller group of shadowy
forms could be seen through the obscurity, ac
coutred with axes, to cut through the abauis.
Each man had .a piece of white paper in his hat
to distinguish Min from the foe in the approach
ing melee. The pause was momentary. The
General had - already reconnoitered the approaeli
es to the still silent promontory, and waving his
sword on highhe Faye the order. In another
instant, the dark massive column was moving
steadily to the attack.
It was a thrilling moment, during which that
devoted hand rushed rapidly over the marsh.
As yet the eneinv had not discovered them.
Even the heartsA the Oldest veterans trembled
with the eagerness of that moment of suspense.
Alrtfiady had, the foremost/of the pioneers reach
ed the ahattis, and the quiek, rapid blows oftheir
,axes rung upon the night, when suddenly the
shout of alarm broke from the fort, the gun of a
sentry flashed through the gloom, and in an in
stant all was uproar and confusion within the
astonished Codification. Not a moment was to
be lost.
" Advance ! advance !" shouted Wayne, as
he pressed rapidly onwzrds to the ahaitis
fd
lowed in death-like silence by his indomitable
trouts.
To arms ! came borne on the night breeze
from the fort—" to arms—to urine," and then
followed the quick roll of the drum. In an in
stant the enemy were at their posts, and the
gallant continentals still maintained their silent
but steady march ; a fire, such only as despera
tion could produce burst from every embrasure
of the-fort. The incessant rattle of the musk*
ry, the crashing of the grape shot, and lurid
light hung over the scene by the 'explosion of
'the shells, and streams of. Fite pouring front the
fort, formed a picture which no pen can de 7
scribe. Yet amidst all. the daring assailants
steadily advanced . . not a trieger had been pulled
in their ranks. Faithful to the command of their
General', though trembling in every limb with
eagerness they kept up their silent match, amid
the very tempest as if impelled by some god-like
power. 'On—on—on they pressed. The whirl
wind of fire Itom the fort ceased not; yet still
they dashed alOng charging at the point of the
bayonet, over the abattis and bulwarks, until the
enemy, borne hark by their impetuous onset,
quailed before them.
The works - were forced. Then, not till then
was the death-like silence broken. A sound
rung out from the victorious troops over all
thunder of battle. It was the watch-word of
success. It was heard by the head of the col
umn behind, it passed down their line, was
caught up by the rear, and a wild shout, making
the very;welkin tremble, rang out, as they dash
ed to'iihe attack.
The contest was short, but terriffic. Over
bulwark, battery, and prostrate foes the gallant
continentals, headed by Wayne, pressed on and
driving all before them, met the column of their
little army, with an enthusiastic cheer, in the
very centre `of the enemy's works. In another
moment'the starry flag of America was waving
triumphantly over the battlements.
The enthusiasm of the victors cannot he de
scribed. But though the contest had been so
bloody, not a man of the enemy fell after resist
ance had ceased. The prisoners were disarm
ed, a guard placed over them, and sentries post
ed on all the commanding positions around the
works. The morning gun announced to the
British fleet in the river that STONY POINT WA.9

A PIN-MARINE 10ACHINE.—A new Pin-Ma
chine has been contrived at Brattleboro', Vt.,
which works like an intelligent being, and is
thus described by a traveller :—lt cut off the
wire, then took the pin in its fingers and sharp
ened the - 'Point on several grindstones, add final
ly.shrew it finished into the receptacle beneath.
And all this was apiMrently without the inter
vention of any human agency. I believe all
the tending requisite was to supply wire. Af
ter being whitened, the pins were poured into
another machine, and there they stuck _them
selves' into paper with wonderful regularity.
THE SHIRT TREE OF AMERICA.-411 the for
ests of Oronook. there is a tree which attains
the height of fifty feet. The natives make
shirts of the bark of this tree which regdires
only to be stripped off and deprived of its red'
'and fibrous parts. The shirt is thus formed
without seam. The head is thrust throughoue
end, the lateral holes are cut to admit the arms.
Natives wear these shirts in rainy seasons,
which, according to Humboldt. are equal to
any of our Mackintoshes for keeping out the
wet.

The Women of the Dim.
The Editor of the Savannah Republican in
his tourthrnugh Syria and Palestine; thus writes:
" The Women of the Drbses are as' virtuous as
the men are brave, and some of them are very
handsome. One girl of seventeen or eighteen,
in the family of Mr. Smith, might well pass for
Spanteh beatity. Her large liquid dark eyes
and olive complexion were all Spanish. They
dress in a lair gown or robe, quite open in front,
confined at the wat4j, and over this is a large
piece of white cloth, whose width is rather more
than the length of the wearer, while the length
suffices. after having passed around the body
like a cloak. to come over the head and fill to

to the far 4. It is managed by the hands, and
generally one, sometimes both eyes are allowed
to peep out. I have seen this article of dress
put on. but I think that nn practice would ena
ble an European woman to put it on and use it
with the grace and ease these women do. The
only part of it which is at all confined, is
that which is tucked under the girdle at the
waist. But I terve not named the most curious
article of their or any other known costume.
This is the horn, which is only worn by mar
ried women. It is of silver, or even of gold, if
worn by some of the Princesses, or perchance
of tm, or some other flit gn e work. washed with
silver, according . to the ability of the wearer. It
is shaped somewhat like a Horn of Plenty, ex
cept that it is straight. It has one large trump
et-shaped' end, which fits on the. head, to which
it is confined by scales or straps passing under
the chin, and by weights which fall behind the
head to counterbalance the weight of it, for it is
worn with a projection forward, somewhat like
the horn of a unicorn.-though not so near hori
zontal as weFre accustomed to see in the draw.
inffs of those fabulous animals. The length of
the horn varies from fourteen inches to three
feet, according to the taste and wealth of the pos
sessor. Most of those which I saw were about
two feet long, and the tipper or small en,sl was
some two inches in diameter.
A veil of some kind is suspended from the
horn, which screens the flee somewhat, and
then- Nis hehind over the shoulders. This most
singular ornament, if it can iesii called is put
on when a woman is to be :partied and is nee.
er taken off afterward, except at the toilet. As

in them, and perhaps no torture could be •devi

One woman promised me that if I would bring
her a horn of Solid gold as long as her arm, she
would wear it.

made :
When the ground is hard anal dry, or rests
upon a continuous stratum of rock. sound is
propagated to a great distance, and hence it is
die practice iirmany countries to ascertain the
approach of horsemen by applying the ear to
the ground. The sound of cannon has been
heard at a great distance. Guns discharged at
Carlsona were heard as far as Denmark. a dis
tance of at least one hundred and twenty miles.
In sailing from Asia Minor to Egypt, Dr.
Clarke heard the sound of a sea fight at a dis
tande of one hundred and thirty miles. Dr.

"preceding figure is to represent the INSEN
SIBLE PERSPIRATION, his the great evac
uation for the impurities of the body. It will be noticed
thut a thick cloudy mist issues from all points of the sur
face, which indicates the wonderful process going on
within. This perspiration flows uninterruptedly when
we are in health. but ceases when
. we are sick. It should
be the care of every one to see that it is not checked.—
Life cannot be sustained without it. It is thrown off
from the blood and other juices of the body, and dispo
ses by this means, of nearly all impurities within use.—
The blood by this means only, works itselfpure. The
language of Scripture is, "in theblolal is the life." If
it aver becomes impure, it may be traced directly to the
stoppage of the insensible perspiration. It never requires
any internal medicines to cleanse it, as it always puri
fies itself by its own beat and action, and throws off all
the offending humors, through the insensible perspiration.
Thus we see, all that is necessa-ry when the blood is
stagnant or infected, is toopen the pores, and it relieves
itself from all impurity instantly. Its own heat and vi
tality are sufficient, without one particle of medicine,
except to open the pores upon the surface.—Thus we
see the folly of taking so much internal remedies. All
practicioners, however, direct their efforts to restore the
insensible perspiration, but it seems to be not always the
proper one. The Thompsonians for instance, steams,
the Hy.'ropathist shrouds us in wet blankets, the Ho
mopsthist deals out infindissimals, the A llopathistbleeds
and doses us with mercury, and the blustering quack
gorges us with pills, pills, pills.
But one object only is in view, viz: to restore the in
sensible perspiration. If this can be done, they say, we
will take care of the rest. It will lie seen, therefore,
that all physicians understand alike what is necessary to
a recovery, how much they may differ as to the mode
of obtaining it.
To give some idea of the amount, and consequently
the importance of the insensible perspiration, we will
state that the learned Ur. Lewenhoek, andthe great Boer
heave, ascertained that five-eights of all we received in
to the stomach, passed off by this means. In other words,
if we eat and drink eight pounds per day, we evacuate
five pounds of it by the insensible perspiration.
This is none other than the used up particles of the
blood, and other juices, giving place to the new and
fresh ones, by carrying with it all the impurities within
up to the surface. T. check this, therefore, is to retain
in the system five eights of all the virulent matter that
nature demands should leave the body. And even when
this is the case, the blood is oleo active a principle, that
it determines those particles, to the skin, where they form l i
scabs, pimples, ulcers, and other spots; but if it is di
rected inwards, and falls upon the lungs, the conse
quences are generally fatal.
By o sudden transition fmm heat to cold, the pores
are stopped, the perspiration ceases, and disease begins
at once to develope itself. Hence, a stoppage of this
Clow of the juices, originates so many complaints. It is
through the surface that we imbibe nearly all our ills.
It is stopping the pores, that overwhelms mankind
with coughs, colds, and consumption. Nine-tenths of
the world die from diseases induced by stoppage of the
insensible perspiration. It is easily seen therefore, how
necessary is the flow of this subtle humor to the surface,
to preset Se health. It cannot be stopped; it cannot even
be checked, without producing disease. The blood
and intestines must relieve themselves of all their worn
out particles, and poi4onous humors. and they must go
through the pores as nature designed.
Let ma ask now, every candid mind, what Toiirse
seems the'rnost reasonable to pursue, and unstop the
pores, after they are closed and let the perspiration flow,
that the blood may relieve itself of itslinputines ? Would
you give physic to unstop the pores? Or would you
apply something that would do this upon the surface,
where the clogging actually is! Would not this be com
mon sense? And yet I know of no physician who
makes an internal application to effect it. The reason I
assign is, that no medicine within their knowledge. is
capable of doing it. Under these circumstances, I pre
sent:to physicians and to all others, a preparation that
has this power to the fullest extent.—lt is McAllister's
All-Healing Ointment or the 11;rkts Salty. It has
power to restore perspiration on the feet, on the head,
around oldsores, upon the chest, in short. upon any part
of the body, whether diseased slightly or severely. When
the perspiration is restored, it has power to penetrate tho
lungs, liver, or any part of the human system, and to act
upon them, if they be diseased, by separating the in
flamed morbid particles therefrom, and expelling them
to the surface.
It has power to cause all external sores, scrofulous hu
mors, skin diseases, poisonous wounds to discharge their
putrid matter, and then heals them.
It is a remedy that sweeps off the whole catalogue of
cutaneous disorders, and restores the entire cuticle to its
healthy functions.
It is a remedy that forbids the necessity of so many
and -deleterious drugs taken into the stomach.
It is a remedy that neither sickens, gives inconveni
ence. or is dangerous to the intestines.
This remedy is probably the only one now known,
that is capable of producing all these great results. Its
great value is in restoring at once, the circulation of the
juices when checked, or disarranged -by cold or other
causes.. It preserves and defends the surface from all
derangement of its functions, while it keeps open the
channels for the blood to avoid all its impurities and dis
pose of all its useless particles. There is a connection,
harmony, and feasibility in all that deGes.contradiction.
It is a simple, but wonderful principle that preserves in
healthy operation the entire machinery of 'our being. It
indissolubly holds together the surface and the internal
viscera, the internal viscera and the surface. They era
inseparably connected and cannot be disjoined. The
surface is the outlet of five-eights of the bile and used
up matter within. It is pierced with millions of open
ings to relieve the intestines. Stop up these pores, and
death knocks at yam door. It is rightly termed' All-
Healing, for there is scarcely a disease, external M . in
ternal. that it will not benefit. It will be found the most
useful as well as the cheapest family medicine in the
world. I have used it for the last fourteen years with
success without a parallel. I haveused it for all disease
of the chest, consumption, liver, and the most dangerous
of internal maladies. I have used it in cases of extreme
peril and hazard, involving the utmost danger and re
sponsibility, and I declare 'before Heaven and man, that
not in one single case has it failed to benefit, when the
patient was within the reach of mortal means - .
I never, to my recollection had more than five or six
among the thousands who have used it, say that it was
not favorable to their complaint. On the centrally I have
had hundreds return voluntarily, and in the warmest
and most pathetic language speak in its praise. I have
had physicians, lesmed in the profession; I have had-uti
nisters of the gospel, Judges on the bench, aldermen
and lawyers, gentlemen of the highest erudition and
multitudes of poor, use it in every variety of way, and
that haabeen but one voice, one united. universal voice
saying" McAllister Your ointment is good."
Consuivtion.—Of all diseases, we find this the most
important, and concerning which we meet with the most
opposition. It can hardly be credited that a salve can
have more effect Upon the lungs,seated as they are with
in the system. But we any once for all, that this eint
meat will reach the lungs quicker than any medicines
that can he given internally. Every body consents to
the fact that if healing medicine could he applied on
the lungs. thereiwnuld be great hopes of recovery. The
difficulty is to get the medicine there. New the Salve
has the wonderful virtue of evtracting the putrid hu
mors front all external sores by causing them to
charge. In like manner it operates upon internal affec
tions by driving all the impurities through the pores to
the surface. Thus with consumption, if placed upon
the chest, it penetrates directly to the lunge, separ.nes
the poisonous particles that are consuming them and ex
pels them - from the system.
It is the simplest and most rational process in creat:on,
Vona has the medicine reptile of doing it. The All-
Healing Ointment possesses this power to the fullest
NI
extent: I need not say-that it is curing persons of Con
sumption continually, althOugh we are told it is foolish
ness. I care not what is said, so long as I can cure se
veral thousand persons yearly. If this medicine was in
the hands of some patent medicine brawlers, they would
make ao uproar through the country that W0u!..1 be in
supportable.
Scrofula or King's Evil.—This disease is really in
veterate, and hard to be subdued. It is generally seated
in the sides of the neck, behintrthe_eurs and under the
chin, yet scarcely any part of the body is. exempt. -It
sometimes falls upon the lima 4ind produces consump
tion. It is a dreadful circumstance, that this disease is
transmitted froin parents to chilthen. The Salve will
extract all the morbid matter by causing the sores to dis
charge; and then let then the Solar facture be used to
driVe it to ono point, which done, a coniina ince of the
Ointment will completely remove this disorder. This is
the safest and most effectual of any method. It should
be adopted without a moment's hesitation..
Erysipelas —This complaint arises from impurities
being driven out to the surface by means of the insensible
perspiration. and lodging in the cuticule, forms sores,
pimples &c., it being of a ,caustic, acrid putrifying na
ture. It only requires that it should discharge its vi
rulent particles through the skin, and the difficulty will
pass off. If suffered to remain, and driven inwards it is
frequently fatal.
Let the Salve and Solar Tincture be used as in scro
fula and the patient will soon get well.
Salt Rheum.—This is another obstinate disease but
can be cured effectually as the . scrofula. There is no
difficulty in this disease.
Head ache, Ear ache and Deafness.—The Salvo has
cured persons of the Head-Ache of 12 years standing
and who had it regularly every week, so that vomiting
often took place. It cured the wife of a man who laugh
ed in my face for proposing such a cure. and who now
would not be without it for the best farm in the state. If
any one will take the trouble to call I will give his name.
Deafness and Ear-Ache are helped with the like suc
cess as also Ague in the face.
Cotd Feet.—Consumption, liver complaint, pains in
the chest or aide, falling of the hair, one or the other
always accompanies cold feet. It is a sure sign of dis
ease in the system to have cold feet. Some persons are
totally unable to get them warm, and endure much suf
fering thereby.
The salve ) will restore the insensible perspiration and
thus cure every case. It is infallible for this.
Asthma,:Tightness of Breath.—lf this disease is not
hereditary andooduced by the malformation of the chest,
he salve will Cure it.
Dyspepsia.—One would suppose a salve would not
effect this disease much but the All-Healing Ointment
will cure two sooner than any internal remedy will cure
one.
Sore Eyes. —The intimation and disease always lies .
back of the hall of the eye in the socket. Hence the util
ity of all remedies that are used upon the lids. The
virtue of any medicine must reach the seat of inflam
mation or it will do little good. This salve if rubbed
on the temples will penetrate directly into the socket
and infuse all its virtues upcn the disorder. The pores
will be opened. a proper perspiration will be created and
the disease will soon pass off to the surface. Hors
easy and how natural ! It is as perfect and valuable as
it is simple and philosophical.
Sore Lips. Chapped Hands sell a great deal
of salve to Seamen, who say it is the only thing they
can depend on to cure their raw hands, when exposed
to the weather at sea. It ails like a charm in these corn
plaints. Two or three applications cures.
Pimples on the face, freckles, - tan, masculine skin,
gross surface.—lts first action is to expel all humor. It
will not cease drawing till the face is free from any mat
ter that may be lodged under the skin and frequently
breaking out to the surface. It then heals. When
there is nothing but grossness, or dull repulsive surface,
it begins to soften and soften until the skin becomes as
soft and delicate as a child's,. It throws a freshness and
blushing color upon the now white transparent skin
that is perfecdy enchanting. Sometimes in casco( Freck
les it will first start out those that haze lain hidden and
seen but seldom. Pursue the salve and all will soon dis
' appear.
The reason for this wonderful change in a lady's
face is that it excites into natural and healthy activity
the Insensible Perspiration, while it renovates and re
news the surface, and leaves the skin in as lively and
deli'-ate a condition as the most fastidious could desire.
It is put up in 4ine jars and beautifully scented on pur
pose for the toilet. ,
Burns.—Life can always tie saved if the vitals are
not injured. I have - so many testitnonials for the cure
of this complaint that I could till a book. I suppose
there is not a family in the United Stahl:. that would
consent to be without this salve a single day if they
knew its balm in healing Burns alone. It extracts the
pain and leaves the place withouta scar.
Qainsy sore throat, Influenza, Bronchitis. —There
.is not an internal remedy in existence that will cure
these disorders as quick as the salve. It opens the pores
on the neck and draws off all the inflammation mid im
pure juices, and a few days will see the patient well.
It is sovereign in these ca-,s.
Piles.—The salve acts upon the piles as upon sore
eyes. Thee is an inflammation which must be drawn
hum the !,..fts„ The salve does this.
Hernia Sr pti.re.—'Phis salve has cured some very
bad cases of rupture, and although it might not all. yet it
would be mist; To try it. It is a peculiar complaint, but
it may be helped 60111 e, if not cured - entirely. I have
not the shadow of a doubt that it would cure thousands
if the trial was made, who believe no medicine of the
least benefit.
Two shillings worth would sati-fy any one, whether
it would do good or not.
Worms.—lf parents knew how fatal' most medicines
were to children taken inwardly. they would he slow to
resort to them. Especially •• mercurial lozenges," call
ed "medical zenges," •• vennifiiges," pills, &c. Even
were it possible to say posdirely that worms were pre
sent, it is -sot safe. The truth is, no one can tell, inva
riably, when worms are preser.t. Of course the remedy
its not applicable fo the complaint. Now let me say to
parents, that this salve will akar; tell if a 'child ha
worms. Let it be rubbed on the neck and chest; to keep
them from-going up, and, then down on the bowels and
they will soon leave. It will drive every vestige of them
away This is a simple and safe cure. No injury can
come of it in any way. But should it be shalt-, infla
tion of the bowels, or gripe of the intestines, it ivill ef
fectually cure them as the worms.
There is probably no medicine on the face of the earth
at once so sure and safe in the expulsion of worms.
It would he cruel, nay wicked, to give internal doubt
fu/ medicines, so long as a harmless, certain, and effect
ual external one, could be had.
Cholic. Pain, or, lajlamnintion rf the Bowels. —Let
the salve be rubbed in and heated with the.fire or hot
flat irons, and all pains and difficulty will snort cease.
Swellings of the joints, or weakness, or any affection
of the bone, nothing is so good for as this salve.
Poisons.--4 never knew anything so good as this
salve. It causes the poison to discharge immediately,
and leaves not the slightest cause of alarm. Poisons by
nails, bites of animals, or burns, it removes when no
thing else will.
Toilet.—l have it done up in fine order for the dres
sing case. Although I have said little about it as a hair
restorative, yet I will stake it against the world ! They
may bring their oils far and near, and mine will restore
the hair two cases to their one. These are no idle words,
for I am ready to back it with any reasonable amount.
Old Sores, NortUication, Ulcers, 4c.—There is no ef
ectual way of curing these, but drawing off, the putrid
matter. to merely dry it up would only endanger one'
health more. That some sores are an outlet to the im
purities of the system, is the only reason, because they
cannot pass dff through the natural‘channels of the In
sensible Perspiration If such sores are healed up, the
impurities must have some other outlet, or it will endan
ger life. This is the reason why it is impolitic to use the
common salves of the day in such cases. For they have
no power tdopen other revenues, to let off all this mor
bid matter, and the consequences are always fatal. This
salvo will always provide for such emergencies. There
need be no fear. It is perfect.
Broken Breast.—Persons need never have a broken
breist. The salve will always prevent it, if used in sea
,son4
‘,34.irer Complaint.—Persons having this complaint fre
quently .have eruptions of the hands, face and other
parts, and never- once tint k that it arises from the liver.
Their utter inability to remove these irruptions, proves
their misapprehension of the disorder. Such must one
• it first on the feet, then wear it on the chest, and the
• difficulty will soon go away.
Illiae Passion or Griping of the Intestines.—This
disease mused the death of the late H. S. Legere, At
torney General andacting Secretary of the United States,
• It is the stopping up of the smal:er intestines, and some
times the twisting of them. It is brought on by a neg
