Whilst the troops were in camp at Neer Orleans, in 1814, a person dressed in female attire was in the habit of visiting the camps with oranges and miter fruit for sale. Some of the soldierstecame suspicious = that the fruit seller was not a vi ritable female, and gave such information as made it proper to have the lady taken up and interroga.cd. When she was brought before the officers, she was seen to put her hand in her 'bosom. She drew out a written paper which, up( n 'examination turned out to be a certificate from a widuw lady. She certified that the hearer was emplOyed by her to assume the female dress, and sell fruit to the troops—that she had three sons in the army, and was forced to sustain herself with meat and bread in thiir - absence by her own labor—that she had resorted to, the employment of the youth to supply herself with a' subsistence, and his appearance as e 'lesrmle was ter device. The three seesof the lady were looked out; they recognized•the hand-writing of their mother, and they also knew the youth. Of course the boy was dis charged, but the message which General Jackson sent to the widow lady reflects everlasting credit upon his generous heart. He sent her word that son need give herself no further uneasiness about a livelihood, in the absence of her sons—that a widow who would furnish three such soldiers should have all that she needed for her support. He had her amply provided for. Yet there is a man presiding over Tennessee, as Governor, who told Parson Bmwnlow sad others that this samc General Jackson required him (then Elder -Jones) to turn out a widow lady from the Church, against whom no charges had been made, and without any trial! Gov Jones denies having told Parson Brawn low any such thing, but Dr Embree and Parson Brown low prove that he did. Those who know Andrew iZackson would have utterly scouted such a charge, even if Jones and Bruwnlow had both professed to make thestatement. But; as the matter stands, Gen •eral Jackson's true character is illustrtaed by his treat ment to the mother of his three soldiers at New Or- Icons—Governor Jones' tine character is illustrated by Parson Browillow and Dr Embree.

DUNCAN'S ZTIEUOUCILAIS.EVE .112.JAMX110 - g, FOR CONSUMPTION. COLDS, Coughs, Bronchitis, Asthma, Spitting of Blood DOW my of Breathing, Pain in the Side. Breast and Chest, Influenza, Whooping Cough, Croup and all diseases of the Liver and LUNGS. Has now been before the puplic for several years During which time its value has been tested by thou sands who were laboring under the numerous diseases which have their origin in a common Catarrh or Cold, and which this medicine is designed to cure. The result of this trial has been to place "Duncan's Rome. dy" at the head of the patent medicines of the day. BT . ITS OWN MERITS •NDEXCI.LLENCE, it has attained a popularity exceding that of any other preparation. now offered to the public for the preven tion and cure of that large and frightful class ofdiseas ,es which so frequently lead to. and terminate in CONSUMPTION, it is now offererhe the afflicted with confidence as the BEST preparation for Coughs, 'Collis, &c. extant We are warranted in assuming for it this high charac-• ter, by the proofs, which we are constantly receiving, of the invaluable benefits derived from its use. Tea timoniuls and recommendations of the strongest kind are constantly being received from all quarter, by the Proprietor and Agents. In relieving cases of Asthma, Difficulty in Breathing, Pain in the Side and Breast, it is unequalled; in cur ing Bronchitis, Coughs and Colds, and in short remov ing all the symptoms of approaching Pulmonary Con sumption, ITS SUCCESS HAS BEEN 11tIPARALELLED. No other medicine has proved itself so really inval uable. Thousands in Pittsburgh and the vicinity, are. as far as human agency is concerned, indebted to Dr Duncan's Expectorant Remedy for prolonging life and health. Many persons after using the other cough medicines of the day without effect, have been com pletely restored by this truly GREAT DISCOVERY in the HEALING ART. A strong and undoubted evidence of is worth, is to he found in the high degree of popular favor which it has receiml since its introduction into the West.— Wherever en agency has been opened for its sale, and wherever it has received a fair and honest trial, it has become firmly established as a .STANDARD FAMILY MEDICINE. It is rapidly superseding the use of the many nos trums, which have so long imposed upon the communi ty, which have obtained their name only by puffing arid braggadocia, and which are now destined to be thrown aside to make way for the best cough medicine of the present age. It is not pretended that it will positively cure every case of the disease, for which it is designed, but it is honestly believed that in every case where it gets a fair chance it will effect a cure. Coming, then, before the people with the highest recommendations, it is atleast, worthy of a trial by all who are afflicted with any of that large and dangerous class of disease.. The following is a specimen of the numerous testi monials which we have received. It is from a PHY SICIAN of high standing in Ohio. Dear Sir—Having had occasion to witness the.ef feet of Dr. Duncan's Expectorant Remedy on Mr Eli Young in a case of Pulmonary Consumption, 1 felt it my duty to make a brief statement in order that others that are or may be afflicted with the same complaint may be benefited by the same remedy. He was attacked with inflammation in the left lobe of the lungs in March 1843, attended with acute pain, great difficultyof breathing, and a severe cough, which proceded rapidly to suppuration: and not withstanding the use and application of the best remedies prescribed by our authors, the complaint in a few days began to exhibit evident symptoms of ulceration. In this distressing stage of the complaint, I had re course to DrDancan's Expectorant Remedy fur con sumption, which had the effect of checking the disease,, immediately, and in a few days the pain ceased, the breathing became free and easy, the cough left him, and the expectoration subsided, the consequences of which was that in using six bottles be has recovered his health, and is restored to his family. 1 do het eby certify the above to be true statement of my case as far as comes within my knowledge.
