of lis rights-it cuts it off as me mber
of powerful and eficacious CO nfed-
eracy, like a frigate driven by the
stress of winds and waves from for
midable feet, liable TO- be captured

being member Of the confederacy
that a State enjoys such invaluable
rights--she uses power, physical re-
sources and means not her own, and
these she forfeits when she comes TO
be member of that political body
that secures TO her so mary advantages,
facilities of intercourse and physical
powers. The real rights of States are
IN far more danger from the sectional
legislator who raises cry against the
confederacy, then they possibly can be
by the measures of the general govern
ment.

.STATE RIGHTS

~ IL Il It1OIl -.
There is a great deal of unntelligible
matter made use Of by sectional politi-
clans on the subject of State rights, 'as
if these rights were marked out like
geographical delineations of territory.
The fact is not so moral rights are
very different things. AS a member
of the confederation, State enjoys
rights which she never could enjoy in
IA State destitute of the confederacy !;
the rights, for example, of using the
waters of another State and the same
Of public roads, in the transportation OF
her productions 10 the ocean. If we
look upon the rights Of States in any
other view than this, each has no right
even TO the occupation Of one Of their
own rivers beyond IFS own sectional
boundaries, and the same may be said
of their public roads.
The advocates who contend for
such exclusive State rights as are cir
cnmscribed by geographical metes and
bounds, must be driven to the necessity
of contending for this, or they say
nothing. Each State they would, ac-
cording to their construction, make a
political tortoise, safely housed and
boxed up in its own she'll. This is a
direct way to deprive State of the

NEW.YORK. DEC. l

NEw-YoRK, DEC. Is.
We have just returned from one OF
the most desolating scenes that we have
witnessed for many years. Almost an
entire block of buildings have burnt to
the ground since four O'Clock this morn
ing. The fire compenced in a stable
situated in the rear of the block or
square, which fronted on Spring, Thomp-
son, Sullivan or Broome streets, and in
short time from sixty to eighty families
were left houseless.
The property destroyed is estimated
at from 10 10 10000 dollars, a small
proportion Of which was insured.
The fire was caused by cartman
going into his stable with light, and
from the combuslible materials, it
spread with such rapidity that some of
the families had to escape from the up
per windows, with barely their night
clothing.
As nearly as we could learn, there
were about thirty-fve front and twelve
or fifteen rear buildings destroyed.
They were principally two story dwell
ling houses those on Spring-street
were handsome brick fronts, and many
of the others were recently built.

DYSPEPSIA.

The London Magazine contains the following
article, concerning the manner of treating
this all-important and fashionable COM
plant, which we heartily concur in, and
so we suspect will all those who consider
an "ounce of prevention worth pound of
cure" N. f. GALAXY.
.4dvice to those uho haze Stomachs.-
We recommend to all anxious gentlemen
TO live pleasant" and not to plague
themselves about their stomachs and
their healths, and gluttony and absti-
nence. As surely as man thinks or
talks about his stomach, so surely will il
go wrong and, if he doubts of his good
digestion, he may as we'll surrender the
very chance of it. The organs of our
body do not choose to be thought about
or talked about; and so certainly as they
are made subjects of anxiety and discus
sion, do they refuse TO perform. We
cannot see what right man, or wo-
man either, being non-medical, has to
know that they even possess stomach !;
and we are sure they would be more
free from it's troubles, if they would not
trouble themselves about it.

Fire IN BrunSwick.-O Thursday
morning last, fire took in Cotton Fac
tory in Brunswick, Maine, which in the
course of three hours destroyed two
Cotton Factories, Pulling Mill, dou-
BILE Saw-Mill, a Factory Store, and about
ten Dwelling Houses and other build
ings. The origin of the destruction is
thus stated in letters The weather
being intensely cold, large fire was
made in the stove, or furnace, early in
the morning and the wind being high,
and preventing the passage of the
smoke by the funnel, it become ignited,
and in opening the door of the stove,
rushed into the room, and set the CON-
bustible in il so Immediately on fire,
that the persons present we're unable
to close the stove door, and had scarcely
time to escape with their lives.
The extent Of loss is stated at from
$4,000 to 500, 900, of which 100000
were insured at two Offices in this city.
The contents of the factories were
mostly destroyed but the goods in the
stores, and furniture in the dwelling
houses, were principally saved.

From GREECE.-The siege of Misso-
lOnghi, which has been carried on by
Redschid Pacha with such persevering
ardor, has at length been raised. After
three fruitless assaults against The place,
on the 9th Of August, this General sue
ceeded in seizing the Franklin Battery,
and in lodging two Of his regiments
there. In the mean time, the garrison
of the place had dug within the walls
new fosse by which they would be able
to separate the town from the battery,
which they saw menaced. While Red
schid Pacha made new efforts TO fill up
this last intrenchment, the Greeks on
their part prepared new mine, and be-
fore the former were able TO fill up the
tosse, they sprang it, blew up the two
regiments Of the enemy to the number
OF 1900 men, and retook the Franklin
Battery. On the 25th of September,
Redscid Pacha, whose courage and con-
stancy the Greeks themselves admire,
presented himself at the head of the
foremost ranks of his army, to lead d
mother general assault. Repulsed with
considerable loss, he appeared next day
with all his forces, but was not more
successful. The loss of the Turks in
these two assaults amounted to $500
men. Pro6ting by their success, the
Greeks pursued the enemy, who raised
the siege, and encamped the same day
at the foot of Mount Calidon.

Friction-One of the most gentle and
useful kinds Of exercise, is friction of the
body, either by the naked hand, piece
Of flannel, or what is still better flesh
brush. This was 10 great esteem among
the ancients, and is so at present in the
East Indies. The whole body may be
subjected to this mild operation, but
chiefly the belly, the spine, or back
bone, and the arms and legs. Friction
clears the skin, resolves stagnating hu-
mors, promotes perspiration, strengthens
the fbres, and increases the warmth
and energy of the whole body. In rheu-
matism, govt, palsy, and green-sickness,
it is an excellent remedy. To the sed-
entary, the hypochondriac, and persons
troubled with indigestion, who have not
leisure TO take sufficient exercise, the
daily friction of the belly 10 particular,
cannot be too much recommended as a
substitute for other means, in order to
Dissolve the thick humors which may be
forming in the bowels by stagnaiion, and
TO strengthen the vessels. But, in rub
bling the belly, the operation ought to
be performed in a circular direction, as
being most favorable TO the course Of
the intestines and their natural action.
II should be performed in the morning,
on an empty stomach, or, rather, in bed,
before getting up, and continued, at
least for some minutes at time.

Abolition Of Indian Slavery an Peru
According to an official census taken in
1895, Peru contained f,076, 997 inhabi-
tants, of whom 6O8,91l we're Indians,
244, 437 mestizoes or defendants of IN
dians and whites, 1851 pure whites,
Al ,404 mulattoes, and 40336 negro
slaves. From this statement, il will be
be perceived that the Indians and mes
tizoes make about four.6flhs of the
whole population. Notwithstanding this
great superiority of number, however,
they we're till very recently held in the
most cruel bondage. Under the old
Spanish Government, they were subject,
like the Indians in the upper provinces
of Buenos Ayres, to heavy tribute and
to personal service to the crown, call,
ed the .Mita, which was ccnscription
raised among those subjects to the trib-
ute for the purpose of working the
mines, and performing other laborious
services. Thousands of these wretched
people were marched every year 10
Potosi; and although the period of SER
vice was only 10 moaths, they were at
tended by numerous train of friends
and relatives, who on the eve of their
entering the mines, sang melancholy
dirges, and sounding horn in solemn
strains, Eourned over them, with all
the ceremonies which they used on the
death of relative. Their wives and
children remained with the conscripts,
who seldom resisted more than year
the excessive labor and poxious air Of
the mines. 10 consequence of the Sc
verify of their oppression, the Indians
in Upper Peru had the appearance of
habitual melancholy, and were constant
iy seeking for opportunities to revenge
themselves upon their Spanish masters,
and in one memorable instance, (the re-
beflion Of l778) they succeeded in de-
stroying some of The finest towns in the
upper provinces, and maintained them
selves for three years in opposition 10
the utmost efforts of their oppressors.
Our readers will rejoice to learn, that,
since Peru has thrown off the royal
yoke, the Indians have been released
from the service of the mita, that they
are no longer compelledt o pay tribute,
and that, under the direction Of Bolivar
the Deliverer, every thing is doing
which can be done to alleviate their
sutferings, and restore them 10 their
proper rank in society. [Obserpsr.

Portrait Painting .-Rigo, the painter,
who was among the men of science and
art, who accompanied the French expe-
dition TO Egypt, fell in at Cairo with a
caravan from Nubia. AS the trader of the
caravan had countenance which dis
played the natural features in striking
manner, Rigo resolved to paint his por-
trait, but was obliged to give him con-
siderable sum of money before he could
induce him TO comply with his wish. AT
first the Nubian seemed content with
The picture: but as soon as the colours
we're laid on, he uttered loud CRY of
horror, and all endeavors 10 appease
him we're fruitIess. He escaped TO his
home, where he related, that his head
and half of his body had been taken
away BY painter. Some days after,
Rigo led another Nubian into his work
shop, who was not less struck with hor-
ror at seeing the picture, that the man
whom it represented had been; aud
told all his countrymen, that he had seen
a great uumber of Topped off heads and
limbs in the Frenchman's house. They
laughed at him however, TO satisfy
themselves about the matter, SIX of
them went TO visit Rigo They were
siezed with the same panic at the sight
OF his paintings, and no entreaties could
prevail upon them III ramain in tho
house.
