Godey's Lady's Book.
We have received the March number of this
Maga2ine, it is gotten up in a magnificent style
the literature is of the first quality and does
honor to its contributors; the engravings are
tastefully executed.
Graham's Magazine
For March is already before us, and is, in our
estimation far superior to any previous number.
The literary department is admirably conducted.
By the way, Graham has "come down" in the
right kind of style on "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and
freely assigns his reasons for condemning that
book. Go ahead, you, are on the right track.
He gives in the March number, an article on the
"British Slave System," which cuts like abroa-d-eword.

Relief Notes.
The one an J two dollar bills in circulation in
this state, denominated "Relief Notes," are con
sidered by every man to be a nuisance. Such
worthless trash as they are, is a disgrace to the
state, and he will be a public benefactor, who,
in his legislative capacity, will devise the ways
and means to rid us of such an abominable and
detested currency. Were they once out of cir
culation we would have a circulating medium
of gold and silver in their stead, and the labor
ing classes of the community would not be im
posed upon' by so many counterfeits as they have
been of late. At least one-half cf the relief
notes in circulation in this county are counter
feit, jid the o ther half are so defaced as to de
ceive the best judges of money. We have now
in our possession several of these notes that are
so ragged and torn, so patched up and so illeg.
gib.le, that you can scarcely distinguish what
bank has issued them. The redemption of such
base money, at an early day, will meet with a
hearty amen from everybody, and the channels
of trade will be happily delivered from contami
nating species of currency. Gov. Bigler, in
his message, suggested the propriety of cancel
ling, these notes, and a bill, which will be found
herewith, has been reported in the House of
Representatives by Mr. Skixner, of Philada
county, which, if made a law, and we hope it
will be, will drive the pestilence from our midst.
To that bill we direct attention, fully satisfied
that its provisions will meet with the unquali
fied endorsement of our readers. Every man in
the community desires a triumph to Mr. Skix
xer through the passage of his bill, and we ear
nestly hope that he may succeed in having ad
opted a measure calculated to remove forever
these unsafe, disfigured, abominable notes, that
are cheating the people everyday, and in doing
so restore the currency of the com mi n wealth to
its pristine purity. The following is the bill as
reported by Mr. Skinner:
An act for te Cancellation xf the 7!clif JTotes.
Section I. Be it enacted, &c, That hereafter
the receipts to the Siuking Fund, to the amount
that may be nececsary to cancel the relief notes
now in circulation under the provision of the
act of may 1st, 1841, and the re-issues under
the act of 10th of April, 1840, shall be and are
hereby appropriated for the cancellation of re
lief notes, in the following manner, viz : It shall
be the duty of the State Treasurer, on the 1st day
ofJune next, and at the expiration of every
three months thereafter, until the whole amount
of said notes shall have been cancelled, to as
certain the amount of money in the Treasury
due to the Commissioners of the Siuking Fund,
and proceed to pay over to said Commissioners
the amount so ascertained of the most defaced
and worn of the relief issues which may be
found in the lreasury at such periods
ESe last week noticed that Lieut. Schaam
burg, of Washington city, had shot a gentleman
named Fuller, who is still suffering from the
wound with but slight prospects of recovery.
The cause of the outrage was the posting by
Fuller of the following article,. which exceeds
anything of the kind we ever read in the English
language, and we little wonder that it led to
such disastrous results :

JAMES W. SCHAUMBTJEG,
A COWARD, LI All ASD SWINDLE I.
In my efforts to collect a claim justlv due to
me from JAMES W. SCIIAUMBURG" I have
fully realized the fact that I have had to deal
with a mean and unprincipled man a liar, swin
dler, coward and poltroon. To bandy epithets
with thi3 man is not to my taste. I inflicted
personal chastisement upon him, under which he
crouched like a servile cur, only to re-enact the
braggart when escaped from my blows. I would
speak of him in terms that self-respect suggests,
could such language describe him ; but it will
not. He is, though, strutting in places frequen
ted by gentlemen, too comteinptible to admit of
the application to him of the language I would,
were it possible, with pleasure address, or use
iu relation to him. He is now iu this city for
the purpose of prosecuting what he "terms a
"claim for reinstatement in the Dragoon Corps
of the Army;' but it cannot be that honorable
corps will ever again be disgraced by the asso
ciation of such a despicable and dastardly crea
ture. To make manifest the justice of these re
marks, I submit to the public the following al
legations, which I shall, in a short time, sustain
by abundant proof, in a small pamphlet, viz:

Justice" and the Sentinel.
Some weeks ago we published an article in
reference to the conduct of the employers of the
Penna. Railroad, near Johnstown, in taking and
retaining possession of a house built by Mr.
Clark near the Station House. A writer in the
Cambrian, under the signature of "Justice" says
our article was "no doubt, written in Johns-ithe usual waste
town, and the Sentinel paid for inserting it."
Such was not the case. The particulars of the
'outrage' wc derived from a respectable gentle
man, who is no politician, no political aspirant,
the Cambrian to the contrary notwithstanding ;
from those particulars, ns stated to us in a let
ter, wc wrote and published the article referred
to, not receiving, asking, or desiring any pny for
the same. . We thought at the time, and still
think, that the action of the Railroad officials
in the premises, was unpardonably wrong and a
gross violation of private rights. If the house
was built upon the property of tho company,
there was a remedy through process of law to
remove it, instead of resorting to force. In
this connection, we maytate, that against the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company we entertain
no unkind feelings, but are as desirous of fur
thering their interests as any one in the Coin
luo iwealth, believing that the road is beneficial
to the people and of immense advantage to the
trade of the West. "Willingly would we aid, at
nijy time, in placing that Company on an equal
ity. with any private citizen in reference to the
conveying of passengers over the State improve
nicnts, or in doing nught else to benefit them,
not incompatible with the Interests of the State,
but it cannot be expected that we thould remain
quiet, when the employers of the company take
the law into their own hands Instead of refer
ing it to the proper tribunal.

To Dr. J. f Ayer, tj c,
Dear Sir : We have the pleasure to report on
your shipment of Cherry Pectoral to our house,
the whole quantity sold, and a pressing demand
for more, which must await the arrival of fur
ther supplies. Its success in curing diseases of
the lungs, and its consequent notoriety, has ex
celled any medicine ever used in this country.
Most of our remedies here are imported from
England, and some of them are rich and valua
ble ; but no product of medical skill from that
or any other quarter has ever won so fully the
confidence of our population as this beautiful
preparation of yours.
The article has attracted particular attention
among our most distinguished citizens, from the
fact that General Bulnes, President of the Re
public, and the highest officer in the Sf.ie, was
cured of a severe and dangerous affection of the
lungs, by its use. T.(j allow . is to send his
name, and w.-hes to add the acknwledsments
or gratitude for ms relief.
We have the honor to be, sir,

is full of base and nauseous matter. Such a
work, were it entitled to any respect, any con
sideration, would materially injure the demo
cratic party; but its attempted strictures and
sarcasms are harmless, and utterly beneath the
notice ot sensible men. The cause of "youug
America" through this, its ablest exponent, is
withering to decay, and its epitaph will soon be
written. George Sanders, and his co-editor, are
a disgrace to any periodical, incubuses any par

present course, gain the respect and confidence
of any considerable position of the democratic
party.

also gave orders to the government troons to
