BY ALIEN 51. SCOT!, M. A. It was in tho autumn of '32, business called mo jvway from the little, thriving, busy city of of D. R——k, in Which I then resided, and after ■ equipping myself with the necessary traveling gear, I sat alone and pursued.my journey for five consecutive days in a north-west ern direction, over hill and dale, glen nn glade, The country was then, (twenty- years ago,) the r- far- Witt ; now, no place this side ef that or ft*. ; y»n,;can establish any claims to that appellation . then universally given to Arkansasand Missouri, v . -But to proceed with my narrative; this coun - . try, twenty years ngo, was sparsely settled.— Human-habitations along the route 1 was ex ploring, were like “angels’ visits,” that is if the reader will consider some 15, 20 or 80 ■ njiiea os being “ far between.” And it was air: together indispensable for the stranger to have a way bill and to use. some degree of caution, or * ■ he might chance tomeet the “ dowy-eve” - in, a region where ho could fiud no shelter for man .or .v beast. ■ -• >Thud been much interested with the country through which I was passing. There were herds of wild deer nud countless flocks of wild turkies almost continually in view. The fourth day in the.evening, I arrived at the foot of the Ozark ; mountains, or rather a spar of that chain, and bc .-ing informed by-tfae gentleman .whoso house stood ucarthe ascent, that it "was fifteen miles ‘ across the mountain to the next house, I took . quarters for the night, although it was not quite .nightfall. s. Whcn'tho supper was announced. I .was in -vited tou neat little apartment, where a table "was spread on which wero sundry dishes of veni son, well stewed and savory; sweet potatoes baked brown; corn bread, butter, coffee, cheese, milk, etc. Here I wns mnde welcome, and most • Assuredly did I givo evidence that my altaeh ' meat to these dispensations of Providence was by no means feigned or unreal. During our re past, I, addressing my landlord, said: “ How for. sir, to G— ?” Ho replied that it was about forty miles. The lady.who was doing the honors of tho ta ble inquired of me if I was. going to C .1 replied-in the affirmative. , She asked me if I wouldstop at the houso of Mr. P. My response l was that I had business with Mr. P., and wonid probably bo at his house. . ■ ■■,./■ .:. ‘lAre yon a relative of Mr. P.?’’ continued ■■■•.sho.. ■ ■ I told her that I was not. ’ “ Excuse me,” said she, for being inquisitive. I am a daughter of Mr. P., and am expecting a cousin of mine whom I have never seen. He re sides in Virginia, and is looked for hourly. I was indulging the hope that you, perhaps, wero my cousin. The next morning, after an early repast, I. commenced tho ascent ,of tho mountain, which was indeed rugged. I was under the necessity of walking, and it was not without difficulty; .even then that I snccoedcd in inducing my horse to follow mo up craggy rocks, and down rugged precipices. . However, about 1 o’clock, P. M„ I; had gained the summit, and camo m sight of the: first house on the westward sido of the mountain. Hero-1 asked for refreshments for myself and horse, nnd while these were in a state of pre paration, tasked, “How far to C— ?” Tho gentleman gave mo the information sought for; - upon which I asked him if he knew Mr: P. He said lie knew him well. At this, the lady of the houso, with much ea gerness, not imminglcd with timidity, asked mo if I was not Mr. G. from Virginia. I told her I was not. She said that sho was one of-Mr. P.’s , daughters, and was expeoting a cousin along from Virginia. a After dinner I was again on the road, and pro ceeding towards G Perhaps, the reader ought to bo told that C was not then, nor is yet, a town; no, it is mcnely a neighborhood, very densely settled, containing nt tho time of which ! speak, several small dry goods establish ments, shops, mills, etc. When within four or five miles of C , I met a gentleman nnd lady, each riding on a horse, and, na in duty, bound, I inquired how I should find tho way to' tho house of Mr. P. Tho gentleman .very po litely gave me the direction, after which tho lady ventured to ask me if I was not Mr. G. from Va. On learning that I was not, Bho apologized .by saying that she waa one of Mr. P.’b daughters, nnd was anxiously awaiting the arrival of Mr, fit., a cousin of hcr’e. When almost at Mr. P.’s residence, I came up with two young ladies walking, going the same direction with myself. I asked; them if the house.then in view was the residence of Mr. P. “Fes, and yon are cousin G.” they both ex claimed, advancing towards me, Which circum stance, youth as I then was, comewhat embar rassed me. In a few minutes my horse brought me to Mr. P.’s gate. I coiled. A lady came to the door, I inquired for Mr. P. Sho said ho was somewhere about the farm,- —that she had only been there a few moments, —that she did not reside there; but she felt certain that father was not gonofrom home! I called for accom modations, and entered the house. Soon there after two; ladies entered the room, and one of them asked me if I was not Mr. G., their dear expected cousin. X smiled, and told them I was not; ; but they were folly persuaded that I was indeed Mr. G.,nor could I for some time suc ceed in removing the impression. . Mr. P. camo in a little before dark, nnd said that he had been nmilo distant to visit a marri ed daughter of his, who bad jnst returned from MiSsonri, whether she had gone to visit a couple of sisterß, who were livingomoagthe lead mines. On: inquiry,-Mr. P. told mo that ho.had twelve daughters, all grown, and all living. The Model WlrS*.

Some weeks since we congratulated tho de mocracy on the harmonious union of the two wings of the democratic party in Missouri, and thought that the long existing difficulty was set tled ns a “finality.” Tho state ticket is a good one, and appears to give great satisfaction to the party throughout the state, hut there is a few of the Congressional districts that appear disposed to keep up the turmoil and permit men to defeat the principles of tho parly. Among the foremost of these is tho St.-Louis district. It has been for years the battle ground of all the fouds that have occurred in the party for many years; and wo are sorry to say that a man, whom wc have admired from early boyhood as a profound states man and enthusiastic democrat, has aided very materially in fomenting this discord. To bo plain, wo refer to Thomas ITaet Bkmtos. Ho is a man possessed of the most exalted talent, end ns wo sincerely believe, of deep devotion to tho principles of the democratic party—m tho ab stract sense of the words—but, he has latterly been wofully deficient in their, practical applica tion, Wo do not suppose that there is a single man of ordinary intelligence in the dcmocratia party who will deny tho fact that Benton has been one of tho most decided and indomitable advocates of the progressive principles of ftepub licauism that has been confided in by the people for.tho last thirty years. Ho has been a mem ber of the United States Senate for that number of years, and ho has served his country and his constituents faithfully. He has, in fact, made Missouri what Bbo is in our bright constellation of states. Without his powerful aid she would be a more spot on the map of onr country, in stead of occupying tho position of one of, tho most noted commonwealths in our confederacy. But, to uso a homely illustration, ho now ap pears to be disposod to not with more perversity than tho cow that would kindly permit a pall of i good milk to bo drawn from her and then kick it over. He has milked the people for tho last thirty years, but, in tho valuable services ho has rendered them, a reasonable proportion of the cream has been taken by himself, and he : is now trying to skim tho balance. Bong con tinuance in office has made him arrogant, and ho now. appears to think himself “tho State.” Ho has publicly announced that ho will not accept r a nomination tendered to him by his most dovo ted friends. Ho tells them in effect, to stand i back, and ho will nominate himself by making speeches through tho district, and this informa- i tionis, of course, Buffioiontto inform them that i they must support him, for Congress, when ho i has made all his speeches. This may bo tho ef j feetthat often accompanies tho dotage of old age, or, what is most likely, the ontponring of tho j ; vexed heart of a proud, superciiiious man, who | has rcoeivod more favors from the party than i any other public man, now living, can boast of. iThomas H. Bouton should not attempt to play tho Coriolanns with the people of Missouri. His headstrong arrogance has kept the State in a broil for moro than three years, and if ho is not devoted to the success of the Whigs, - heart and sofil, we think he should retire to tho posi tion the people have long, since signified their willingness he should oocupy. ! We have long thought it strange that the per sons elevated to office to sine the people,cannot understand their proper relations to thoir con stituents. They are not elected to dictatoto those who placo powor in thoir hands, or, after wards to imyudentiy insult tho friends who of fer them further favors. In all our experience as political editors wo have never felt it incum bent on us to support men, when by doing so wo might endanger the safety of our principles. All tilings being equal, tho man who is most accept able to ourpajrty, the man who will receive the largest number of the votes of our party friends, and tho man who will serve his constituents without tho overweening personal vanity that lias become so ..prevalent among office holders of mte, is tho ma n we desire to see nominated for office, and thu man wo will, as democrats support- -M l6 voters who place men in power do not desire t<» be diotated to in an offensive tone, nor ore dlasy willing to be the cringing SggTi*. 44 ; ?• "-4 V-. h i Brighton snd Rochester 3lanvfattiirln£ Company. lVc have received up am ph let of 16 psgcß, re cently issued, descriptive of tKo lands now own-, ed by. the Rochesterand Brighton.Jlanufacturing Association, on the Beaver Biver, in Beaver oonnty, .

There is no place iu the United States that is better calculated for manufacturing than on the Beaver river.

The American Railroad Journal, one of tho best publications of the hind in the country, pub lishcs a portion of tho address of tiov. Johnston, President of tbo Allegheny Valley Railroad. Tbo Editor introduces the speech in these words:— “Wo have often spoken of the importance of the above project, both as a local work, ami from its connections with tho ruilroad system of the country. Wo believe it must be speedily built. We doubt whether there is a line of railroad in the United States, of equal length, which will traverse a country possessing greater or more valued resources. Both in tho excellence of its soil and in mineral wealth it is unsurpassed.— It will prove a great convenience to tho western New York roads in opening a new avenue to tho Ohio River. It will provo a most useful feeder to tho Erie Road and will be likely to receive substantial aid from this city,’' In another article on the subject of double tracks, the editor says that he regards tho con struction of this road as certain. ■“When com pleted, it cannot fail to secure to tho Erio Rail road a largo tra6c between tho west and New York."

A fourth check for $l,lOO was next despatched to the North Bunk, and would havo been paid but for tho tact that the colored man was a slraugcr and it being a rule of the bank not to pay checks to unknown persons.

Ho sometimes takes a fanoy to dishes not to bo found in tho bill of faro, and fights with tho waiters for not attending to his orders, 110 exhibits a wonderful curiosity to find out tho nativity of all who are sitting near •him; asks gentlemen to send him over their ■wine; drinks health with overy ono around tho table, addressing thorn as‘your Majesty;! quotoß poetry, recites parliamentary speeches, and amu ses the company by telling anecdotes of the Queen and her husband, O’Connoll, Peel, and Little Johnny Russell. ■ Ho frequently visitß Stewart’s marble palace, and shocks tho sensitiveness of tho ladies by his strange, manner nnd strange questions, asking them, among other drolleries, why they don’t wear beards on their chins.—' None of.his friends have, as yet, made their ap pearanoo here to take him in charge; hut as his insanity is unquestionable—some surveil lance should bo plaood over him by the proper authority, until they do arrive, which will prob ably bo by the next steamer. - Exthaoedinahy Contest. —Under this head tho Mobile Register of Wednesday has the fol lowing : “Since the time when men on ostriches ran races in tho East against riders on blooded nags, no such singular contest has occurred us that which is announced for to-day in Mobile. Be tween horse and filly, tbo battle is constantly equalized by difference of weight”—and winners and lobci s havo often changed places by the mag -10 of a handicap. But the contest of this after noon is to he between a biped, differing from the ostrich, being no other than a genuine woman: while her antagonist is equally a genuine four footed race horso of tho ordinary kind. In this case Miss C. C. Cushman, the well known walk ing lady, is matched for $250, to run aracewith Arkansas Deer, —a blooded nag from Orleans. To equalize thiß fete of feet, tho four legs have to travel a mile, while the pair have to run five hundred yards I—or about three and a half to one. Most of ns nre somewhat acquainted with the “race of women,” but few of us have witnessed it in this particular way. Ono Miss Cushman woknow has had a very successful run; and her namosako may probably follow her ex ample; but in acontest between two legs and four, with body to match, the odds are great and tho excitement proportionate. Who names the winner?” Dr«-DX’2jaa4. v s Great Remedy foe lilrfir Complaint. t • proprietors of’tbisj astir .celebratedpie&i ■ W. c -® r *in tho-dailyrcoelpLor the most gratifying t«*.r timoninls ofit* excellence. l Case* that upTtstncnrpble by moat skillful .were cor ed immediately afierthese Pills were given* Thecer uilcaies are go numerous,that it is impossible to publish them within the limits op a newspaper; but as it now is a a established fact that ftPLshe’a Liver Pills are the best; medicine ever offered fonhe eure*of Hepatic de rangement, their publication is rendered unnecessary.
