FIRST voyage of Columbus-We learn from the
Boston papers, that translation OF the Vaiua'
bic and interesting Spanish documents relating
70 the first voyage of Columbus, is IN progress
in that city, and that the printing OF the work
has commenced. The originals OF these docu'
ments were discovered in 1889, among the ar
chiyes of the Duke del Iniantado. They were
not published until year or two SINCE @hen
they we're given to the public by order OF the
presen, King Of Spain. The manuscript is
said TO be in the hand writing OF Las Casas,
and 10 be an abstrac, Of the original journal OF
Columbus, made by this author While comoi'-
ing his history Of the Indies. II is IN the form
Of a diary at sea, ant. is probably more interest
ING from not being elaborated. lis authenticity
is said TO be unQues'ionable.

MR. WILLIAM w. POTTER, Respected sir-I
w have been troubled for the last urfcen years with
eonsumpre complaint, splitting blood, and almost con-
slant coughing. Seeing an advertisementin the Utica
Sentinel and Gazette, of late invention called POT
rERs VEGETABLE CATHoLIcoN, Ihaye made trial Of II,
and state from actual experience thst it is true TO
its MOTTO and that trying is the naked truth, and like
ThompsOns eye water, it stands unrivalled. My pen
will not permit to describe the grateful feelings
have towards you for the discovery you have made;
but believe that you will be the of saving many
valuable lives, through the assistance of Con and your
medicine.
You will hardly believe me when tell you, that
reduced from my average weight about 200 pounds
to less than 49, and by using only ttco bottles Of your
valuable CaihoEcOn, enjoying perfect health,
and weigh fOo hundred and thirteen pounds instead of
being afflicted with consumption of health am now
blessed with beef and pork consumption, thank God.
''If ever you should be travelling in this direction
should be very happy to see you, or indeed any Of
yonr family.
You are at liberty to publish this, and should like
it to appear in the Utica papers, thinking It may do

d'Angouleme, with one Of his aids, and Prince
Polignac. Lord Wellington remarked, thar 1t
| was pretty certain that country, defended BY
this kind Of artillery, would never be invaded.
Lord Exmouth. after witnessing few showers
of lead, said he believed the time would come,
when a steam gun boat, with two guns in her
bow, would conquer any Iiue-of-ba,tle ship; and
Sir G Cockburne said, the mischief of il was,
it would be to nations what the pistol was TO
duellists,-it would bring strong an6 weak on
level.
While contemplating with pleasure these
triumphs Of countryman's mechanical genius
abroad, it is, indeed, curious enough to consid-
er what moral revolutions may ensue from
them. At this rate, war, always the most unac
countable of human madnesses, must become
quite too expensive game to be played more
than once in century, and then only for few
days at time! When the cankers of a calm
world, and long peace" the INDECENT opera
tive, the profigate and decayed gentleman, the
ruined alchematist, and the pennyless poet,
shall swell beyond the compass Of the poor
rates, they may, at the end of each century, be
displayed in certain numbers on the plains of
Flanders, and conveniently despatched in day
England, which could be hired for the occasion
BY this plan the false hopes and the sickening
fears of parents and wives, the tediousness of
the campaign, and the protracted agonies Of
the hospital,-and above all, the foraging and
trampling of the fields Of the innocent peasant
would all be spared, and the penalties Of guilt
and folly fall more cert ainly on the right heads
At The bidding rate at which the damon of
war is fed nova days it takes some score of
campaigns to glut him. AT the day of Water
loo there were some paltry forty GRITTY thou
sand despatched; but what were this to some
such centenary day as we have imagined.

Gorernor Toup again in di6iculty.--His Ex
cellency has the extreme misfortune to fall out
with his neighbors on every side. He must
surely live in bad neighborhood. He has late
ly recalled the commissioners sent out by Geor-
'gia, to meet those Of the United States, appoiat
ed 10 run the line between that State and Fleri
da, because it was not likely to run exactly to
suit him. 1t is but year or two since he struck
up q controversy with the Governor Of Alaba
ma, on the subject Of the line between the two
States, and afterwards backed out Off not en-
,irely 10 the satisfaction Of the candid and re
Hecting part Of the citizens OF Georgia.
The cause Of the dispute about the Florida
line we understand TO be this: tina, it is likely
to take narrow strip off the Territory claimed
to be within the limits of Georgia. This does
not suit the calculations of his Excelency, who,
so far as i, respects Territory, goes strictly up
on the old maxim, "keep what you've got, and
get what you can" Southern Ad0ocole.

We however predict he will never again receive
as many votes for president as at the last election
Very little effort was then madeto oppose him,
for his strength was made light of. Now that he
is the only opposing candidate, ample time is
given to examine into his claims, and the coun
try has had space to pause and consider of the
danger which menaced it. 1t is pause, which
will prove fatal to man whose track must be
plastered and whitewashed, and whose acts both
in public and private life require the labours of
a standing committee explain aud defend

and strung together, form after all slender ba-

in the Presidential Chair man whose reputa-
