Gen. MorriHo.-Of this General, whose recent
treachery to The cause of liberty and his country
has drawn upon him the execrations OF every well
wsher TO the success of constitutional freedom in
Spain, we have the following character from good
Authority. In 1906, he sergeant in the marine
corps, from which he was dismissed with disgrace
for having beaten his wife to death. In the subse-
quent war of independence, he commanded about
90 men in Catalonia, whose object was plum
der but being surrounded by party OF French he
surrendered to them as LIEUT. Colonel, in which
grade he was confirmed by the government He
was afterwards selected and senl to South America,
as Brigader General his acts and exploits, in that
country are well known. On his return to Spain
be was made Captain General, with the titles OF
Marquis de la Puera and Condo de Carthagena.
He has now proved himself traitor TO his country,
and in so doing has not disappointed the expectiona
OF many on this side OF the Atlantic. Host Fat.
Important Surrender Of General Sare:feld.
Marshal Money, in despatch to the French
government announces with no little satisfaction,
that General de Sares6ed had put himself under
the protection of the French arms, and was receiv-
ed with the regard due to his rank and reputation
L hat our readers may know the Importance OF this
acquisition to the French arms, we state TIE
following particulars of the political history and char
acter of Gen. Saresheld This General held a
command under the Count de Absbal in Cadiz in
1918, and was concerned alike with the latter in the
treacherous Development oil the intended rising in
favor OF the Constitution al that time. Both OF the m
were connected with the Liberals aud espoused the
cause with much apparent interest but to the as !
tonishment of all, shamefully betrayed the whole
plot to the Kngand compromised the lives fortunes
and happiness Of many brave men whom they had
sworn to support. After the establishment OF the
present system, Saresiied was in disgrace and re-
sided in Barcelona by order Of the government until
March last, when being concerned with some 9th
ers in REASONABLE designs against The Constitution,
was arrested and sent prisoner to Maorca, from
whence 1t is probable he has now made his escape
and joined the French. To this event, however, we
cannot attach any thing Of an important nature, as
his military talents are not thought much of.--i6.

INTERESTING FACTS.

1t has been stated to us by gentle
man of responsibility who has been at
some pains to ascertain the facts, that an
instance is not known of the Small Por
having been West of the Ohio river
that aithough ernigrants from the East
have repeatedly been dispersed through
every quarter of this country while la
boring under the dire effects of the dis
ease, and although many of them have
actually died among us under its in
fluence, yet no instance is known of the
disease having been Communicate on
the West side of the Ohio. It's said on
the same authority, that not a solitary
instance of Hidrophobia is recorded as
having occurred in the state of Ohio. In
truth, if these things are so, (and we are
not prepared to controvert them) they
are truly interesting facts, and worthy
of notice. Ohio Olive Branch.

THE SESAMUM INDICUM, OR

TO THE EDITORS.

Ge,'lsmen--I have just received the
enclosed from my friend DIR. James
Smith, of Baltimore, to whom | for
warded few seeds of the Bhene, Sc
samum Indicum early in the Spring,
| cultivate d about dozen of the plants
last Summer, at this place, and distribu-
ted the leaves to several of my acquain-
tances, whose children were afflicted
with the Summer Complaint - some
of whom, from prudential motives, ask
ed permission of their attending Physi-
clan to administer it, which was grant
ed as 'a thing that, if it did no good,
couldhot be productive ofany harm.''-
However, such was its efficacy, that
even those who felt disposed to ridicule
SO simple an innovation upon their prac-
tice, became immediate converts TO its
utility ;-and | had the qualification of
afording reliefto many little suferes,

Physicians, who, afterwards, repeatedly
applied to me for this plant. On mem
tioning its properties to DIR. Smith last
autumn, he suggested the drying of the
leaves in the shade, previous to their be-
ing touched by frost, and putting them
away, in order be prepared for early
attacks of the Cholera Infantum in the
Spring which L did, and very fortu-
nately too, for my own child, about FIVE
months old in May, was violently seized
with this dreadful malady, and upon adj
ministering an Infusion Of the dried
leaves, it was in the course Of the day,
entirely relieved. The Doctor has, in
his communication, omitted to state the
simple manner in which It is prepared
for use-which is, by placing one or
more of the green leaves, according to
the size in a tumbIer of cool water, and
the mucilage is immediately impaired,
and it is fit 10 drink--its great advan-
tage is its insipidity. The leaves when
dry, require TO remain rather a longer
time in the water, to deprive them of
their mucilage. When green, full
grown leaf is sufficient for three OF
four tumbIers of water. 1t has Afforded
me great satisfaction to have been the
means already this Summer, Of reliev-
ing several children, in my neighbor-
hood, who have suffered severely from
the Summer Complaint. -

The great value 81 the !SeSumnr1 IN

as generally as it ought to be. | am in
debted for my first acquaintance with
this remedy, to gentleman of George

but, from the trials | have lately made
with it here, at his suggestion, in cases
Of Dysen cry or Cholera f.afantum, am
fully persuaded we have nothing superb
or 10 it, that can be usei in the treat
ment of either of these distressing com
plants. Young children, who cannot
be forced to swallow any other medi-
cine, without great difficulty, are fond
of this, which is refreshing and nourish-
ing to them. Those whose stomachs
nauseat at the sight of almost every
thing that we can present to them, take
