climate, he there breathed his last—with his latest
breath invoking blessings on that country which had
vwwarded his services with twenty-nine years of exile.
Im this country, Joseph was known only by bene

with admirable conversational power, which he was
fond of indulging— and without any of the pretensions
with Which his career might have inspired a mind less
evenly balaneed,—be moved among us a well bred
gentleman, a kind and generous neighbor, a most
agreeable and instructive companion—a man of head
and heart unspoiled by the loftiest honors of the world,

-SIX REASONS Port PLANTING At; ORCHARD
Ist. Would you leave an inheritance to your chil
dren? Plant an orchard. No ether invest meta of mu
/ley and labor will, in the long run, pay so well.
2d. Would you make home pleasant? the abode of
the social virtues? Plant an orchard. Nothing better
promotes among neighbors a feeling of kindness and
good will than a treat of good fruit often repeated.
3d. Would .you remove from your children the
strongest temptation to steal? Plant an orchard. If
vldldren cannot obtain fruit at home, they are very apt
to steal it; and when they have learned to steal fruit,
they are in a fair way to learn to steal horses.
4th. Would you cultivate a constant feeling of
'thankfulness towatda the giver of all good? Plant
an orchard. By having constantly before you one of
the greatest blessings given to man, you must be har
dened indeed if you are nut influenced by a spirit of
humility and thankfulness.
sth. Would you have your children love their home
—respect their parents while living, and'venerate
their memory when dead—in all their wandirings look
beck upon the home of their youth as a sacred spot
—an oasis in the grout wilderness of the world? Then
plant an orchard.
Eth. In short, if you wish to avail yourself of the
- blessings of a bountiful Providence, which are within
,your reach, you must plant an orchard. And when
you do it. see that you plant good fruit. Don't plant
crab apple trees, nor wild plums, nor Indian peaches,
(nor choke pears,) the best are the cheapest.
"Plant a tree or a vine, and in a few years the
'fruits thereof will cause thee to bless the day thou
•did'st it."
The nasty for transplanting is at hand, where the
ground is not too much frozen or too wet, and for taking
cuttings for engrafting, and layers for planting, they
"an be cut and sent a distance.

'October Ist, 1843, to September 30th, 1844
For general service,
By regiments and otherwise,
Major General Scott. in his report to the Secretary
-of War, says that the Indian frontiers have enjoyed
a remarkable tranquillity during the past year, and not
a field operation has been called for, except on the
Gulf of Mexico. With regard to Florida, it is stated
that at the pacification of the few Florida Indians still
remaining in that territory in the summer of 1842, a
*Mall hand in the west was not ineltuied—its existence
at the time being unknown. It is doubtful whether
they had been engaged in the preview hostilities.—
Early in the present year a few individuals of this
band fell in with a fishing party on Choctawhatchee
bay, when on some probable altercation, an attack was
made by the Indians- A %hire man and a black wo
man were killed, and another citizen wounded. Two
successive expeditions ag.inst the murderers ; conceal
ed in the extensive swamps and lagoons of that coast.
have failed to make a single captive. A third vigor-
-ous pursuit is now on foot.
The Major General says that judging from the In
spection Reports received as well as from wide person
al observation in the pest season, the ermicoical ar
sangements and responsibilities of the army are ex
.cellent, and susceptible of hut littln improvement.—
The tactical instrartion and general s u ldership of the
-whole arealso good and progressive. A fine spirit of
-discipline—that is, exact obedience to law and law
*l orders—very 'generally prevails.
The General concludes by recommending to the de
.partment and the Ericutive, an effort to interest Con
gress in behalf of a Soldier: Retreat or Asylum, for
worn-out or disabled men. f Plain Enq.
A True Fiik Siory.—Dr Gardner—and it is said
that he can be relied upon—thus speaks of the fish in
Columbia river• It is almost worth a trip to Oregon
just to wet a line in such waters. Hear the doctor:
"I Ease ascertained already the existence of six dif
ferent species of salmon in the Columbia river; the pe
riod of spawning of each is different; they are found to

Nay and Dec., at the heeds of these streams In such
quanties to choke up thecerrents bythoustuais." Fur

they not only become emaciated, but actually wear off

they are so constantly and earnestly engaged in doing vantages, they have not the slightest friendship,
whet they find to do, that they have no time to spend in
the fancy business of sending forth even a true report
of the growing importance of their city.
"Change" is so much a matter of course in a coun
try like ours, that a new project or movement of any
kind, attracts bet momentary attentions and causes
but a casual reinark, and then we pass on to new em
ployments and enterprises, without pausing to consider
the indications of improvement and prosperity which
present themselves on every side.
It is comparatively but a few years, since a single
Cotton Factory constituted one of the curiosities of
Pittsburgh. Now there ale five in successful opera
tion,and a sixth will be constructed during the ap
proaching summer. Of Iron and Nail Mills, we can
Ijust now think of Ten, which are all doing an active
!business, and some may have escaped our memory.—
lOf Foundries and Engine Shops, we can form no
computation, without taking more time and trouble
than we can now bestow on the subject. Pittsburgh
would seem to be the chosen spot to procure articles of
Iro4Msnufacture,from the Tack to the Steam Ship—
And talking of Steam Ships, here is a branch of in
dustry for which the capacities of Pittsburgh have
been but recently developed; and there has been no
time these two or three years, when there has not
been from two to four iron vessels on the stocks—a
conclusive proof that they can be built better and more
cheaply here than at any other place in the Union.
We have nut time nor space tib "begin" to enumerate
the branches of manufacture in whichour mechanics ex
cel all others, nor to give any details which might
convey an idea of the immense amount of mercantile
business transacted here
Thestranger in Pittsburgh will be struck with the
great number of steamboats always at our wharf, mak
ing, so to speak, a forest of steam pipes, and thence
obtain, more readily, perhaps, than from any other
source, a proper idea of the magnitude of the com
merce of Pittsburgh. Two regular packets leave
for Cincinnati every day. besides many transient boats
for the same port—while boats for Louisville, St Lou
is, New Orleans, Nashville, and every other town of
consequence in the west and southwest, are daily de
parting from our what f. Besides these, there are two
lines of boats plying to and from Beaver. about a half
a dozen of boats to and from Brownsville, and sever
al on the Allegheny, running as far up as Olean, in
the State of New York.
But her great manufactures, and her extended com
merce, are not the only indications we have of the
growing prosperity of Pittsburgh. In the less im
portant, but by no means trifling matter of attending
to the comfortand convenience of her people she is ma
king progress. Within a year or two, a steam ferry
boat has been est.ilii,hed to Birmingham, and others
to run to other points across the rivers , are in contem
plation•—they would have been supported long since,
and the only wonder is that nobody thought of start
ing them on a practicable plan before. Then, within
a few months, omnibuses have been placed on all the
roads leading from the city, which are a decided con
venience to the citizens—at fording as they do, a cheap
and comfortable mode of conveyance at all times.
We might multiply these notices of public and pri
vate projects of improvement successfully carried out,
but want of space forbids. We have said enough,
however, to show that Pittsburgh enjoys a high degree
of prosperity, and that she bids fair to eutrival all het
competitors in the great west.
NEW YORK STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. -
The Albany Argus of January Vd, contains a very in
teresting Report of the proceedings of the New York
State Agricultural Society. We regard these Associ
ations as of vast importance to the Farming Interest,
and have more than once taken occasion to urge the
formation of County Societies in this State.
It would seem that the pecuniary condition of the
N. Y. Society is prosperous. The inc - Come of the So
ciety for the past year, over and above all expenses,
was nearly $lOOO. The State appropriates $7OO an
nually to sustain it. The most prominent men in New
York are members of it.
In looking over the Report, we were struck with the
account of the productions for which premiums were
awarded.
Matthew IVntsnn got the premium fur the best wheat
—he raised 215 bushels on 4 acres and 12 perches of
ground—or nearly 524 bushels to the acre.
The second premium on Corn was obtained by a
man who had raised 2134 bushels on 2 acres of land.
BaRLET.—S B Dudley got the first premium. He
had made two acres produce nearly 150 bushels, or
69 90-100 bushels per acre.
UATS.—Seth Lawton took the first preminm for
Oats. He had 1204 btabels on onn acre.
CLOVER SEED.—Ten bushels weighing 60 lbs each,
on 34 times of ground, took the premium.
RUTH ]SAGA. 1160 bushels off one acre.
CARROTS. 1059 bushel& off one acre
Butter. 6 Durham cows, kept on grass feed, yield
ed in 30 days 262 lbs 9oz of butter. One of the cows
alone, intim 30 days, yielded 52 lbs 9 os of Butter.
These are astonishing results, and we have no doubt
the emulation kept up by the Society, has contributed
greatly to produce them. The second and third class
premiums awarded evince that there were many com
petitors for the prizes, who had prodated crops but
little inferior to those which took the first prizes.
THE ILLINOIS CANAL LOAN NEOOTIATED.—The
Journal of Commerce says:—" We take the great pleas=
ore in announcing the success of Col Oakley and Da
vid Leavitt, gsq., (who arrived in the Cambria) in
procuring the subscription to the Illinois Canal Loan
to be filled up. This, in our opinion, secures not only
the completion of the Canal, but the redemption of the
State from the overwhelming debt and its restoration
to credit and prosperity. Thera cannot exist and
doubt that the Legislature will appropriate some por
tion of the resources of the State, to be applied in Ju
ly 1846 towards the liquidation in part of the interest
then accrued on her debt, and thus render absolute
the subscriptions made by the terms of the contract of
ran troaditioaal on. such Legislative action."
It ifonutung witness the tender solicited.

A nice GRAB TOR VIC BANIM—We see in the
Baltimore Sun a notice of a decision of the Supreme
Court in the cases carried from the Appeal Court of
Maryland, as to the right of the State to tax Bank
Stocks. By this decision, the Baltimore, Union. Com
mercial and Farmers,•' Mechanics', Franklin, Farm
ers' and Merchants' and Marine. were not liable to tax
ation until after the expiration of their original char
ters' which took place on the Ist of J,anuary, 1845, and
sonsequently have claims on the State for all the taxes
paid by them during the last four years, and of the
city for the last three years. The amount paid by
them during three years to the city is said to he about
$60,000; and to the State about $20,000. The de
cision does not affeet the other banks of the city, nor
does it prevent the city or State from imposing any
taxes hereafter that they may think advisable on
all the banking instit;utions of the city.
Feet Btactra AND Mutsrroas.—A bill of im
portance, concerning the interests of this class, has
just passed both branches of the Maryland legislature.
By the act of 1831, chap 323, 2d section. they were al
lowed to leave the state for an unlimited period and
return again, upon filing with the clerk of the county
of their residence, a bill, stating the reasons of their
departure, and their intention to return. The clause
of the bill, making this provision was stricken out—
whereby, under no circumstances, will they be allowed
to return to the state, after having absented themselves
for thirty days.
As OLD PAINTING .—The Courier Francais states,
that the most ancient painting hitharto known was
that representing St Christopher bearing the infant
Saviour on his shoulders, and dated the year 1423.
By a fortunate hazard, however, a few weeks since,
when an old trunk was about to be burnt, at Mechin,
a painting scarcely visible was observed in the inside
of the cover. On inspection the date of the year 1418
was clearly discernible. The Royal library of Brus
sels has purchased this antiquity, which belongs to
the Flemish school, at the price of 500 frtkncs.
1 We observe that Mr. Ortuaroo CHILEKS is
practising Dentistry in Nashville. The difference be
tween this CHEEKS and the generality of cheeks is,
that they want to keep their teeth within themselves —
he wants to pullthem out. If be le a scientific man,
he will doubtless be "Cheek by jowl" with his patrons.
THIS WIFE or HIRRCRA.—The following paragraph
knocks a very pretty little piece of romance into pi.—
The factory girl does not "revel in the halls of Monte
zuma:"
It appears that Miss Irene Nichols. the Lowell facto
ry girl, did not marry the Mexican President Herrera,
but a German book-keeper, named Handachild.
Hugo BY Accinesir.—On the 13th instant James
Twyman, son of Dr Leo Twyman, of St Charles,
Missouri, accidentally hung himself. He was play
ing with a rope and barrel, the rope was fastened to
the joist of the building and round his neck. The
head of the barrel on which he was standing broke in
and hefell, and was soon after found by the other boys
hanging by the neck, and life was totally extinguish
ed.
MCCURRY, THE MURDERER.—The New York
Herald of yesterday says : "This man is now entirely
convalescent, and the wounds on hie neck have healed
without inflammation. He, however, evinces a deter-
mined spirit not to get well, and refuses to partake of
food, pretending that he cannot swallow Dr. Warren
has examined his throat, and pronounces it all a pre
tence. He, however, administered a dose to him yes
terday, which will cause him to crave food, unless he
is determined to starve himself."
CONGRESS.
In the Senate, to-day, the joint resolution which pas
sed the House for annexing Texas to the U States was
read twice, and referred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations, on the motion ef Mr Archer. The Han
John A Dix, elected by the legislature of New York
to be a senator from that State to fill the vacancy occa
sioned by the resignation of the Hon Silas Wright, was
qualified and took his aeat. Mr Berrien reported from
the Judiciary Committee a bill to amend the naturali
zation law. The bill, we believe, does not extend the
probationary peridd of foreigners, but throws manyre
evictions around the system The Senate, after spend
ing the most of the day in the discussion of the bill re
ducing the rates of postage, and correcting the abuse
of the franking privilege, went into the consideration
of executive business, and then adjourned.
The House, this morning, immediately after the
reading of the journal, resolved itself into a Com
mittee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and
;the pending question being laid aside, took up the
bill from the Senate to purchase 1,500 copies of
Greenhow's history of Oregon, which, after a de
jbate, was passed--yeas 106, nays 79.
I
Thecommittee then took up thebill for the occupa
tion of the Oregon Territory, and after spending some
time in debate thereon, the committee rose and the
House adjourned. Previous to adjournment. Mr Mc
Clernand, fcom the Committee on Public Lands, by
general consent., reported a bill for the sale of the
mineral lands in the State of Illinois, and the Terri
tories of lowa and Wisconsin ; which was referred to
the,Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union.

FROM PERU
We have been favored (says the N Y Journal of I
Commerce) with a letter from Lima of September 201 h,
which gives an iutelligble account of what has been
called "the seizure of the Peruvian fleet and bombard
ment of Africa" by a British squadron. It is now
seven months (says the letter) since the line of pack
ets commenced running monthly to Panama.
"Gen Vivanco was defeated on the 22d July by
General Castillo, near Arequipa, and his government
overthrown. The constitutional government was es
tablished here on the 10th of August, but the supreme
junto of the south, of which Castillo is president, not
withstanding they profess constitutional principles,
and say they took up arms for the establishment of
this very government, do not seem disposed to deliver
up their power, but will in all probability endeavor to
retain it by force of arms. If so, another civil war
will be the consequence. Castilla would have been
before Lima em this, but for the embargo of his ves
sels by the English, whose consul at Tacua bad his
house broken open and searched by'tbe governor of the
place, for which satisfaction has been demanded, and
until obtained, Admiral Thomas will not give op the
vessels. Pending this question, the admiral lent up
the war steamer Cormorant to Africa, where she at
tempted to . winter, but was prevented by the governor.
After some correspondence she fired upon the town,
and having procured water, returned to Idly."

around us—daily gathering in its fearful embrace, a
friend from every circle, and casting gloom and dark
ness over its place of visitation. This is of serious
and fearful impiwt.—An enemy! a cruel "relcatieu
enema!" meets us at every corner—stands at the bed
side at the solemn hour of midnight, or with the first
light of morn, and fearfully and solemnly whispers

The proprietor of this medicine particularly requests
all afflicted persons who feel disposed to use his med
icine to be careful and not be humbugged by the many
new mixtures and compounds that are daily puffed in
to notice through the Press, with foreign and distant
fictitious certificates of cures. Be CARKTUT, that
you are not gulled by them and suffer your disease to
fasten still tighter upon your lungs. It is true, many
of the nostrums before the public temporarily relieve a
cough, this is only done by the influence of tligi vast a
inonnt of Opium they contain; but let the fact be known
that the Elixir of Paregoric, or any other mixture of
Opium will do the same thing. Let it be borne in mind
that such medicines parch up the membranes of the
Sallavery, Glands, and Bronchi, which dry up a cough
for a short time, and probably give the patient some
hopes of recovery, when suddenly to his surprise, he
discovers that the Secretion of Mucus, and Purulent

How oft and repeated do we hear these words ut
tered from the lips of those obo lay prostrated upon
the "Couch of Hope," borne down with disease and
sickness, without perhaps, a sympathising friend or
medical aid to comfort their distress. When we take
into consideration the many that have"fallen asleep in
death" during the past year in our own city. county
and neighboring towns, and the many whose lives are
yet despaired of—this sight must certainly awaken the
sensibilities of the most thoughtless of the uncertain•
ty of life—those that were with us but a few days since
are gone—look around for the "familiar faces," of
those who took an active parr in the buoiness scenes
of life—and those who attended our places of wor
ship—where are they? Echo answers, in your grave
yard! The high, the low, the rich and poor, have
met the same fate; the beaming eye of the beautiful is
dimmed and closed for ever, the voice that spoke so
harmonious and eloquent is hushed; the hand once
spoke the heart's friendship is unfeeling, stifirand cold.

WONDERFUL EFFICACY OF

31X1PYACIPOZALNIP MAKEIBMT:.
Beware of that fell disease which imperceptibly fas
tens upon your system the threads of destruction, and
hastens to the grave. Read the following certificate
from one of the mos: respectable farmers of Licking
county:
In the fall of '4l, I was attacked with a severe
cough, and more or less painand soreness through the
chest, which continued unabated through the winter.
As warm weather approached I became somewhat re
lieved, but still the soreness and cough did not entirely
leave me. At the commencement of the winter '42
—'43, I began to get much worse; great sureness thro'
my whole chest, difficultyof breathing, severe and con
stant cough, followed in a short time by a copious ex
pectorationof matter, rapid emaciation, &c. These
symptoms continued to grow worse and worse, until
I was so much prostrated as to be mostly confined to
my bed room, and scarcely able to help myself. Having
little confidence in the ability of Physicians to relieve
or cure a'coesumptiOn which 1 supposed to have be
come already seated in me, I had entirely neglected
the use of any prescription whatever, until I saw in
the Advocate an advertisement of Dr. Duncan's, which
induced me to purchase of Mr. Briggs, who was then
agent, one bottle of his medicine, hoping that it might
afford me some relief from my sufferings, al'.hough I
expected nothing more. In March '43, I commenced
using it, and in four days time the soreness in my
chest was entirely removed, my cough was much re
lieved, I exp, ctorated freely and began to mend in every
respect. In short. I continued taking until I bad used
ten bottles when I found myself entirely cured, and
have remainedso until the present. I need not say
theft consider ths espietennal • most saleable medi.
eine &slang affections, and as such, have, and do still
most cheerfully recommend it.
