Besides its astonishing efficacy in the disease above mentioned, we also find it a very effectual remedy in ASTHMA, a complaint in which it has beenextensive ly used with decided success, even in cases of yearn standing. .It not only emanates from a regular Physician, but has also been well tested in all the complaints Sr'o which it is recommended. _lt is not my intention, therefore, either to cloak it in mystery, or in any way deceive the public by overrating its virtues ; on the contrary, I shall simply endeavor to give a brief state ment of its usefulness, and flattermyself that its sur prising efficacy wilt enable um to furnish such proofs ' of its virtues as will satisfy the most incredulous, that • Consumption may and 'CAN BE CURED,' if this medi ' :tine be resorted to in time.

I have been troubled with weak lungs for four years ; had a cough more or less every winter.

I consnlted a phy sician, but have never taken any medicine which has .1 done me so much good' as - WISTAR'S BALSAM OF ' WH.D.CHERRY.

INCIDENT'S OF TIM MEXICAN WAR - Tag Milt, or Onr.saxa.—The heroine of Fort Brown, more familiarly known in the Army of Oc- Cupationats 'The Great Western,' wa ll first brought to the notice of the public, in a few remarks by Lieut. Bragg, at the collation given by the army to the Louistona delegation, at Gen. Arista's head quarters, in Moonier's. He mentioned her gal lant conduct and noble bearing during the whole of the'bombardment. A few of the incidents of the life of this extraerdinary woman, which !have been able to pick up in camp, will. be rend with some interest ; Alley prove that the sex has not been unrepresented in the soul stirring.and bloody scenes on the Rio Grande:. - The Great - Western fiebings to a class known and recognized in the'army as iLnundresses,' three of whom are allowed to draw rations in each com pany, and arc required to wash for the soldiers thereof, at a price regulated by a council of offi cers. bho arrived at Corpus Christi, last autumn with the 7th infantry, to one of the companies of which her husband was attached. UP to the time the army marched to the Rio Gra e, she perform ed all her - appropriate duties, i ' n addition, kept a mess for the young officers e regiment. When the army took units line of march for the Rio Grande, the women, with a few rare exceptions, were felt behind to come by sea. A very few procur ed ponies, and followed their husbandson their tedi ous end arduous march. Not so with the 'Great Western.' her husband Wll , l sent / by water, whether on duty or, from disability' I am unable to - learn; but she, true to her character, declaring that ithe boys,' (young - officers of her mess') 'must have somebody to take csre of them,"• purchased a mule and cart, parked her luggage, cooking uten sils, and supplies, mounted 'behind her donkey with whip in hand, and displayed upon the whole route, qualifications and attainments, which the best teamster in the train might have envied.— During the whole journey she kept tin the •mess,' a relief from the. burdens of which is the greatest boon.to an officer on the march. The Brigade to which she was altachetParrived upon the banks of the Rio Colorado' as Gen. Taylor wan preparing to cross with the dragooneand the Ist brigade of. in fantry. The Mexicans upon the opposite bank, were making great dernom.tr - ations by blowing bu gles, ikc.. &c. After calmly surveying the scene from her cart, she remarked, with great coolness and determination, that iif the General:4uld give her a good strong pair of tongs, she ould wade that river, and whip every scoundrel that dareshow himself!' It may be imagined that the men were nut backward in crossing after that. When Gen Taylor marched Inc Point Isabel with the army. on the let May, the 7th infantry and of course the Gnat Western, remained to gar rison Fort Brown. How that noble regiment and the two companies of 'artillery, left in this work, sustained themselves, is already known— but'no thing will more gratify them. than to have justice done their gallant heroine, of whom they speak in the warmest terms. She, with all the other wee - - men left behind—some eight or ten—moved into the fort, where her 'mess was soon put in operation the position of her tent and tire, being near the centre of the fort. The enemy's firelopened on the 3d, just as she was commencing her arrange ments ter the 'boy's' breakfast, Every security , that could possibly be proyided was offered thb wo men, to whom the gallant soldier alWays gives his first attentillll. The ninigszines Were - the only' 'bomb proofs' in the fort, and as the government had-sent-no ammunition to fill them, the', next must inflammible material, the women . , found per fect security in them- These women, however, be it said to the honor of the sex, were not idle. Moat nobly did they ply the needle in preparing sand bags out of the officers' and soldiers' tents, wherewith to strengthen the work. and protect. the arrilleryman when serving their guns. The Great Western, true to herself again, declined participa ting in this protection or sewing, and continued her labors at the:'fire in the open air. From the firing of the first gun all hands were at their posts; Lowil's and Brogg's artillery speaking in tones of thunder the indignation they irk at being thus Pa• luted on n bright May morning. When the hour arrived for breakfast, but few expected the luxury which awaited them. The mess was as well at tended to, as if nothing but a morning drill with blank cartridges had come off, and in addition, a large supply of delicious. hot coffee was awaiting the thirsty, who had but to call and partake, with: out diStinction of rank. To some of the artillery men, who were . unable to leave their guns, the beverage was earned by this iminisiering angel,' and, as may readily' be believed, no belle of Or leans, as much ‘ as . she might ho admired and be loved, ever meta more gracious reception. The fire of the artillery was kept up almost incessantly until dimier tiOtira soldier's dinner hour is I o'- clock—when the good and generous woman again provided, for those who were almost utterly ex hausted and worn out, a delicious'dish Of bean soup—this bean soup, is declared by the Mexicans to he'the foundation of that invincible spirit,which they have seen so strikingly:displayed by the Yon, kee soldiers. This she distributed again, without money, and without price; Thua did she continue to discharge' her duties during the seven days.that the enemy kefit up an incessant cannonade ,and bombardment. 81te was ever to be found at her, post; her meals were always ready at the hour, . alWays of the best the market afforded.'...- 7 When the despatches Were made op for Gen. Tay ' 'ler. on the evening of the 4th, a number' of officers and others, had written to their (tient; at Poi n t Isabel, and among them the 'Great Western' had found time to communicate with her husband ; and I Lave frequently heard it , said by, those who saw her letter, for it was loudly called for,und made public, that her description, 'if not the Most accurate, was certainly the most grphie Which was given of the events of the 3d, and 4th of May.— She expressed her full confidence in Vie ability cf, the gatrison to sustain• itself, - end only* regretted the abscence of her husband, To supply his place however, I am told that she applied, early in the action for 1 musket and ammunition, which she received and put in soecure place, expressing er determination to have full.-satisfaction,.softener r the enemy should dare approach ' , Within range o her piece. This they 'never did, and ,our heroine must rest contented with the reflection that sheno bly perfornaPd her own duty, and will long be re. • membered by the besieged garrison of Fart Browns • She is probably as celebrated for hir personal appearance as the is for tier deeds. Nt'ith an erect and majest i c carriage, she glories in a heighth —six feet—which fully entitles her to a place in the Grenadiers. any soldier of which might well envy her athletic but graceful farm. But her rep utation, the:dearest of all things to a woman.. Is what she prides herself on. The tongue of slan der has never yet dared to attack her well-earned and well sustained chareter. With virtue as a ba sis, and such heroic conducti, to build with, she never need fear the necessity of exercising her ex traordinary physical ability in defence of that rep utation. But if•attarked, the gallant defenders of Fort Brown. will. I doubt not, be found pressing forward in her defenre,"and woe to the dastard who receives a discharge of artillery from such gunners. - • GEN. TAYLOR SURPRISED. The singular simplicity that marks Gen. Tay lor's personal appearance and habits, have become a subject of universal fame. It is curious that a soldier, so eminent in all the qualities of discipline, s h ou ld b e so c itizen looking in his appearaece. A curious scene occurred at Point Isabel, at the time Coin. Connor appeared off that place with his fleet to give succor to the 'Army of Occupatien•' Corn. Connor, is a naval officer that is, net only strict in Ids dress, but has a Philadeihia .nicety about it. He appears in full and splendid uniform on all public occasions, being the exact counter part in this particular of Gen. Taylor. •At the prc?er time Coin. Connor, sent word to Gen. Taylor, that he would come; ashore to pay him a visit for ceremony. This - put old •Rough and Ready' into a. tremendous excitement. It Com. Connor had quietly come up to his tent, and g i ven hi m . 1 sailor's gripe,and {;at down on a camp chest, and talked over matters in nit old fashioned way, Gen. Taylor would have been prepared; but to have the moat carefully dressed officer in our navy; commanding the finest fleet, to some in full' uniform, surrounded by all the glittetibg pomp of splendid equipments—to pay a visit of ceremony. was more that Gen. Taylor had, without some ef fort, nerve to go through with ; but,.ei-er equal to emergencies, he determined to compliment Com. Connor, and through him the navy. by. appearing in full uniform, a rising his 'officers. associated with him for yeass, had never witnessed. In the meanwhile Corn. Connor was cogitating over the most proper way to compliment Gen. Tay lor. Having beard of his peculiar disregard of military dress; he Concluded he would make the visit in a manner comporting to Gen. Taylor's habits, and eonsequebtly equiped himself in plain wntte drilling, and unattended came ashore. • The moment old 'Rough and Ready' heard that Com. Connor had landed, he abandoned some heavy work he was pirsonally attending to, about 'the camp, and precipitately rushed "tap his tent, delved at the bottom of on old chest, and pulled out a uniform coat, that bad peacefully slumbered for years in undisturbed quietude, slipped himself into it, in his haste fastening it so that one side of the standing collar, was three button holes above the other, and sat higpself down as uncomfortable as can well be imagined. With quiet step and un attended, Com. fjonnor presented turnaslf .at Gen. Taylor's tent; the coniandera sbooi bends, both in exceeding astonishment at each other's appear- once. The wage in the army say, that the ahove con tains the only authentic account where Gen. Tay lor was ever headed ; and that since that time he has taken to linen roundabouts,. of the largest di mensions. With more pertinacity than ever.—New &larva Tropic, July to.

In the country of Robson. in the State of North Carolina. the re lived in times pasta man by:the name ot. Brooks, who kept a grocery °for a num ber of years, and so had requires' most of the land around hini. This was mostly pine barrens of small value, ttt nevertheless Brooks was looked up to as a great landholder and big man in the neighborhood. There Was one tract, however, belonging to one Col. LAMAR, who lived in Char leston, that 'jammed in upon him so strong," and being withal better in quality than the aver age of his own domain, that Brooks had long wished to add it to its other broad acres. Accor dingly he looked around him and employed as he expressed it "the smartest man irr tho neighbor hood," to 'wit, one Angus McAlphin, to . go to Charleston and negotiate with OA 'Lamar for the purchase of this also. Being provided pretty well ,with bread, meat, and a brittle of paleface which were stowed away Ma pair of leather saddlebags, and, like all other great Plenipotentiaries, being provided with suital;le instructions, Mac mounted a piney-woods tacky (named Rnsim), and hied him off to Charlestoh. The road was rather long er than Brooks had supposNl, - -or his agent was less expeditious, or some bud luck had happened to him, or something was the matter that Angus did not get back until long after the day had Iran piled. which was fixed on for his return. • Brooks in the mean time had got hiinself into a very fury of impatience.. He kept his eyes filid on th Charleston road—he was crusty lowar his tomers--harsh towards'his wile :Vint children, end scarce eat or 'slept for several days and nights, for Le had set his whole soul upon buying the Lamar land. One day, 'however, Angus was descried slowly and sadly wet:ding his way up the long 6i:etch of sandy road made up to the grocery. Brooks went out to meet him, and without 'farth er ceremony, he aerosted him. , Mac, havii you got the land r Tkalliant. Whose face was anything but replierLsomewhat gruffly`that "he might let a body get doWn from his horse, before he pia at hint with questions of business." Bitt Brooks was in a fever of anxiety and re peated the question— , "Did 'you get it V °Shaw. now. Brooke. don% press upon a body in this uncivil way. It is along story and I mutt,. have time." Brooks, still. urged, 'and Mac still parried the, question till they_got iritu the house. • 4 .llTow,surely, ' thought Brooks..he will tell me? Malian was not quite ready. "BrOos," says he, "have you anything to drink ?s} "To he sure, I hate," said the other, aniniume diately bad some Of his best forth coming:-r"Nav inge moistened his clay, Mac took a seat and his employer another. Mac gave a preliminary hem ! He then turned suddenly around to Brooks r look• ed hirn.steaight in tho eyes, and shipped him on the thigh— Why, you know I never wiks," replied the other. • “Well,' then, Brooks,” says the agent, ...you ought to go there.
