One of the humuuitarian movements of the times although little known as such, can hardly be over estimated in its importance upon tbe well being of our widely scattered communities. The pop ulation of the American States is in ma ny sections so sparse, that skillful Physi cians aro hardly available to them. Vast uumncrs ol our people, are obliged to em ploy in sickness, such medical relief as they can hear of from each other, or in deed any they can get from any quarter. Hence arises the great consumption of Patent Mediciues among us, greater by fur than in any of the old couutrics, where skillful physieians aro accessit'o to all classes. Unprincipled men have long a vailed themselves of thia necessity, to palm off th-ir worthless nostrums, until the word has become synonimous with impo sition and cheat. One of our leading Chemists in tbe Fast, Dr. Ayer is pur suing a course which defeats thia iniquity. He brings not ouly hid own but the best bkill of our times to bear, for the produc tion of tho lest remedies which can be made. These are supplied to tho world, in a convenient form, at low pricce, and the people will no more buy poor medi cines instead of good, at tho samo cost, than they will bra-u instead of flour. The inevitable cousoqueuce of this is, that the vile compounds that flood our country are discarded for those which honeetly necompiibh the end in view, which cure. Do wu over estimate its importance, in believing that lU prospect of supplant ing the by-word medicines, with those of actual worth and virtue, is brought with immeuse consequence for jjood, to the miws of our pcoplu. Gazelle and Gkfouide Peru, la. The Mail Routes. As a specimen of the manner in which tho Administration continues to harass the people of Pennsylvania, by the sup pression of the mail routes, on the false plea of ecouomy, we quote the following. It seems that the Government can afford to carry letters to California, by a total superfluous and needless oyerland mail, at a tremendous loss, to support which muy Pennsylvauians are now oompelled to do without mail facilities in a great measure or pay the expenses out of their own pockets: .'It is stated that the account between the Overland Mail Company and the Post Office Department will stand thus -at the oloso of the six month's account:-: expenditures by tho Department, S3, 600,000; receipts 800,000; showing a clear los from the route of 3,540,000." JTJW. L. Yaney, of Alabama, one of the i-hiuiug lights and most distinguished leaders of Southern Democracy, gives as bis-reason for beiucr a democrat, that th O j - measures of the Democracy are calculated to produce disunion. There's a volume .of.truth in almost 9 fingle line. fV CgyTen shares of Easton Bank Stock Av.er.e sold in E3stpn week before, last, at &7252.perPbif?i "The Man of Leather." This man who thrust -kmve9 and awls so recklessly in, his flesh in Kentucky, bas been subjected to an examination in Cincincinnati, in the presence of medical and-newspaper men. His secret was at onco discovered.- The Gazette says : Our readers havo seen ladies with jew els in their ears, and most aro familiar with the process of piercing the ear to admit the introduction of tho "rinjis"' or "drops." Tho hole is made in ear with an awl or bodkin, and in the hole so made, a bit of silk or thread is worn. This prevcuts the wound from wholly closing. The surface of the puncture be- beoome cicatrized, as tbe physicians say, and the hole ie a permanency, ihrough this of course, an car ring may bo put in and no pain caused. Now. the wounds, into which Mr. Ste vens thrust his bits of iron, are cicatrized in like manner. How theso openings were caused we cannot say. They may have been accfdental or the result of disease, or made by design. But whatever was their origiu, their surfaces have now be como cicatrized, and for him to thrust a blunt instrument into thorn, causes no more pain tbau for a lady to put drops in her ears. The Eothschilds Starting a Lottery in the United States. Constantine, Fellner & Co., 75 Nassau street, New York, have been sending broadcast a lottery circular, dated Frank-fort-on-tho-Maine, May 1st, 1850, and eigned L. O. Rothschilds & Co. in which it is announced that tho Grand Ducal government of Baden has issued four hun dred thousand shares for an American lottery, amounting to fourteen million fiorrins; that there are to bo no blanks, and, finally, that "Constantiuo, Fellner & Co., 75 Nassau street, New York," arc the agents, to whom all rcmittaucesfchould he sent. It seems that a few days ago a man took a box in the Post Office in the name of the above 6rm, and received great numbers of letters daily ; but suspicion was at length aroused, and the Mayor's officers were put on the track, when ft ap peared that there was no oue at 75 Nas sau street to answer the name of the firm and that the man who took out the let ters while tbe .scheme worked, had made his hscapo. N. Y. Post. American Primary Elections Eallot- Eoxes Smashed. Baltimore, Aug. 2, 1850. The American party are holding their primary elections to-night to select dele gates to the City nominating Convention. There is a great deal of rowdyism. The ballot-boxes iu tho Twentieth Ward have beeu sma-hed to pieces, and it is report ed that in the Sixth Ward two men have been shot. The stru?glo is between the rowdy and the respectable portion of the party, and the indications are that the former will be successful. Nine o'clock p. Pistols arc bein freely used in some localities. A man named Sullivan had just been arrested in Sixth Ward for firing a largo horse pistol loaded with slugs. Thomas Howe has been shot in the knee, and Wm. Thompson in the leg. There are reports of violent proceedings in other parts of the city. Plain Talk! The Lycoming Gazette, the homo or gan of Gov. Packer, contains a lengthy article in defence of his administration and policy, and strongly denunciatory ol tbe disorganize" who are arrayed a gainst him under tho lead of tbe "Old Man" at Wa.-bington. With regard to the appointment of Mr. Giliis, tho Ga zette says: "The President has appointed the Hon. Ja roes L. Giilis special agent to the Paw nee Indians. Mr. Giliis was one of the principal instruments made use of by the President to foment the present dificul ties in the Democratic party, and this appointment is his reward for that service and an appropriate reward it is. If the President would also make a Pawnee agent of that virtuous man, tho very lion. Arnold Plumer, compel both his appoin tees to go aud live with tho Pawnees, and then send tbe Ilarrisburg Patriot and U nion after tbem, to do their printing, it would be a god-send to tbe Democratic party of Pennsylvania, and be received as evidence of a desire on tbe part of the President to return again to Democracy and do something towards repairing the immense mischief he has made in its ranks within the past two years. The Tomato as food; Dr. Bennettc, a professor of sonic co lobrity, considers the tomato an invalua bio article of diet, and ascribes to it very important medical properties: 1st. That tho tomato is one of the most powerful aperients of tho liver and other organs; wbero calomel is indicated, it is porbably one of tbo most effective and least harmful remedical agents know to the profession. 2d. That a chemical extract will be obtained from it that will supersede the use of calomel in the cure of disease. 3d. That ho has successfull y treated diarrhoea with this alone. 4th. That when used as an artiolo of diet it it almost sovereign for dyspepsia and indi gestion. 5th. That it should bo con stantly used for daily food; either cooked, raw, or in form of catsup, it is tho mot healthy article now in use. Hew-Jersey Strawberry Crop. In Bergen County alone it is estimated that the crop reached 1,000,000 baskets. The New-York and Eric llailroad took to New-York market 2,250,400 baskets, mottly from Ramsey's station. From Koyport two vessels took 1,750,000 bas kets. The Northern New-Jersey Rail road took 4.25,000 moro, while tbo ag gregate from Hob'oken and other placoa 'along ashpro" is aiurpst numberless.

A letter from Princeton, Ky., to the Louisville Journal, says: One of tbe most atrocious and inhuman acts of cruelty was committed io- this county on Sundaylast, tbat was over prepctratcd in civilized society. Some time piuce there was an assassination com mitted about ten miles north ji this place, supposed to have been done by a slave of Jes.sc Williams, at the. instigation of .-aid U illaims. Although in tho exam ining Court the fact was not fully proved, two other slaves of Williams said that the accused slave did commit the murder, aud that at the instigation of Je.so Wil liams, and that they .would report the matter to the friends of tho deceased; whereupon Jesse Williams and his foij James, arrested the two boys, took them to a newly cohered field, bound their legs together, hitched them by a swingle tree to a mule, and dragged them for several hours over the field, and then left them lifeless; but, afterwards recovering, one of them wandered off for two or three miles, aud was found thia morning by some citizens of this place, much man gled and bruised. It was thought that he would not have arisen unless by as histanee. His recovery is thought doubt ful. The other boy has not been found, and is supposed to be dead. Tho peo ple are much agitated upon the matter, and there ia overy synipton of a furiou mob, as the people are thoroughly con vinced of tbe inefficiency of law to reach the family. Within tho last ton years they have been prosecuted for every crime and uiiidomeauor, from murderer, to hog stealing. It is to be desired that the peo ple will give the law another chance to vindicate itself. IJjTbe fashionable marriage of a rich Cuban, aged 00, to a fair New-Yorker, ol 17, which was to have taken place on the 14th of July, has been postponed until the "middle of nest month, iu consequence of the indisposition of the bridegroom, as well as from a desire to nwait tho arrival from Guba of a ono-hundred-thousand-dollar bridal present, from tho bride groom's wister. Senor O , the bride groom, it worth about four millions of dollars. For moro than a year, tho Fifth Avenue belles had industriously set their caps to catch the wealthy old fellow; but his eyes fell on a girl, of rare beauty, who did not move in the circles of upper- tendom and who was comparatively poor. tie laid siege to her heart, and speedily curried it captivo, being aided therein by tho magnificence of tho gifts which he made her. Tiffany, the great jew eler of iNew-York, has supplied tho old fellow with trinkets for -bis lady-love, as we learn from the Tribune, to the jolly tuno of six hundred thousand dollars, to wit: "Ono set of diamonds and pearls, con sisting of necklace, bracelets, brooch, ear rings and head parurc; one set opals and diamonds; four superb fans, dazzling with diamonds; six exquisite diamond hair pins; a watch and Chateliuo, wonderful with enamel and diamonds; rings of fab ulous splendor, and etceteras too brilliant to enumerate or imagine." The bridal jewels, par excellence, now being manufactured in Paris, are to be pearls of rare size and diamonds of pure water; and tho wreath which will confine the one-thousaud-dollar miracle of a uup tial veil, is to bo composed of orange blos soms in jewels, emerald leaves, diamond and napphire flowers, set Jn gold: The gold doth shew her blessedness, Tho sapphires mark her true;" and we may wiud up with the Elizabethiau item of forty elaborate. dresses, to bo 'cam posed" iu lavish style. After tho wed ding and one week of Reception succeed ing it, instead of thc'u'Ual tour, the hap py pair will retire to honeymoon it in a "palatiul" Fourteenth street residence, in which, with love's impatience, tho fair fiuancee is already imtalled, under the protection of her delighted parents. Iu tho Atumn Souor O. will introduce his bride to his own sunny land; after which the gay capitals of Europe will be made brighter by her advent and her diamonds. So they say. .Eight with a Moccasin Snake. The Huntsville (Ala..) Independent, tells in tho following how Mr. James Lapine bore off triumphantly an enormous nioo- casin snake : IIo was passing throush Mr. Thomas S. McCalley's farm a milo or two from town, and immediately on gettiug over a fence a largo land moccasin snake ful ly five feet iu length, sprang upon him Irom tho bushes, and wrapped itself a- round ono of his lees, attemntinc at the Kimc'.time to strike him with its fangs. Air. h. knocked it olf with a bit of wood be had iu his hand, and hardly expected another attack; but the vicious rascal a gain sprang upon . him from a distanoo of some four feet, and tho second time tight ly coiled itself around his lee. By crcat exertion ho at last suoceeded in getting nis foot on tbo monster, and at once dis patched him. Making Vinegar. Vinegar, according to a writer in the Gonesseo Farmer is cheaply made. We publish this receipt : To eight gallons of clean rain water, add three quarts of mo lasscH; put it into a good cask, shake well aud add two or threo spoonsful of good yoaet cakes. if in summer, place tho oask in tbe sun; if in winter near tbo chim ney where it may bo warm. In ten or fifteen days add to the liquor a sheet of brown paper, torn in strips, dipped in molasses, and good vinegar will bo pro duced. Tbe paper will in this way form what is called "mother' or tho lifo of tho vinegar." Tbo HandclsZeitunr states that the capital employed in tho St. Louis brow- ones is nearly 820,000,000. .

Ho bas, with the passive counte nance of Great Britain, balauced tbe Austriana occupation of Paris by the vic tory of Solferinp. Tho debt to Prussia remains to ho paid off; but above all that to Great Brittain. ' Trafalger and Water loo are memories of rngc and shame io the hearts of all Frenchmen, and espe cially of all Bonapartes. And, if in this respect, the turn of Great Britain i3 to come, alio will only have herself to thank, for the present powerful and proud po-i-tion of Louis Napoleon, is her '.vork quite as much as that of his own genius. Cer tain wo may bo, tint of this great drama of tho Second Empire, tho Fourth and Fifths aud greatest of its act3 are yet to come." The "Washington Monument and the Post Office Department. Washington, July 31. Thcconstruc tion of the Washington National Monu ment, after a suspension of several years, is about to be resumed. Systems to raise funds for the prosecution of the work have been put in operation, and it ia pro posed to request the postmasters through out tho couutry to give aid to the enter prise by placing boxes within their re spective offices for the reception of con tributions, and fowarding the returns to Washington. A few centt a mouth fiom the thirty thousand post offices would suffice, in a few years, to raise the shaft to its intended height. The postmasters of many of the princi pal cities, iucluding those of -New York, Washington, Boston, Brooklyn, Balti more aud Charleston, have already ex presned their readiness to lend it a oor cordial co-operation. The Po&tmabter General has written a letter to Lieuten ant Ives, tbe engineer in charge of the monument. He says 'it is the privilege of postmasters, aud others associated with the postal service, iu common with all other citizens, to give to this enterprise puch support as their judgements and feelings may prompt. It is as citzens, and not as officern, that their iufluence will be invoked, and I doubt not tbat in this laudable endeavor, worthy to illus trate and perpetuatetho fame of tbe Fath or of his Country, they will iold to none in tho promptness and earnestness of their co-operation." A Slave Hung by a Mob in Tesas. The Iuedpendcnt Monitor states that the citizens of Tarrant, Hopkins County, hrolro down the jail door of that place, on tho Jth ult., and took out of jail a ne gro man belonging to Mr. Wiley S. Fer ret of Tarrant, conveyed him to the sub urbs of the town, und huns him. The Monticr says: "Tho negro had made an attack on Saturday night before upon Mrs. Morel!, with a view of violating her person. When foiled in his hellish purpose by her stern and resolute resistance, he had re course to cbokiu2 and beating her, and finally left her, as he thought, a lifeless corpse on the grouod. The nejrro was arrested, and was recognized by the Is dy when brought into her presence. He confessed his guilt before he was huno- It is thought the lady will recover. The officers did their duty, but to no effect." Cents not a Legal Tender. Mint of the United States, ) ' Philadelphia, July 25, 1650.

Brown's 'Lrc tures' with much satisfaction. Mr. Brown knows how to speak to 'the people. He has almost every qualification for it, if we may judge from his printed addresses. There is no maudlin sentimentality about him; but all is healthful as the breeze on the hill. Tberc is no clap-trap; he is both too honest and too earnest for that. There is neither a Phari saic scorn of vice, nor any effeminate apolo gizing for it, but a wise Christian man's righteous hatred of it, who knows how to look on those who are siu-degraded as his brethren. lie speaks to the people almost as one of themselves, only from a higher lev l; and, though he uses their daily phrazer, yet he does not thereby pander to vulgarity. He lias a happy acquaintance with our home ly common sense, proverbs, and employs them tellingly. There is no affectation of extraordinary 'concern for the poor' or their 3:juIp;' but there is that real manly concern which can afford to dispense with profess:onr and to express itself chiefly in calm hut brave and sensibly earnest endeavours. The pro verb, 'Much cry and little wool,' you may rc-ver.-e in his case. His true desire lo benefit the people is partly shown by the pains with which he collects a7id prepares the statistics of vice, poverty, disease, &c, in order that iiis wull-nmrshalled facts may preach to the understanding. The genuineness of his ear nestness is evinced by the cheerfulness with which it toils along the highway of common sense.
