Extract Of a letter. from ST. Louis, Mis-
eouri, dated August 18th.
"The Election is over Ashley (Whigl
and Strother ivan BUREN, will be cleo
ted to Congress. Strother and Benton
has had a quarrel--Strother challenged
Benton, but he would not accept it,"
NORTH CARoLINA.--A majority of An

state to Congress--and the State Legis-
lature is also of the same complexion.
Revdrd O riAainy.-It is stated in
the English papers, that person who
had acquired great wealth in the wine
business, not long since died in the vi
cinity of London, whose dying mo-
ments exhibited spectacle of horror,
agony and despair, such as caused the
byslandsrs to shudder, and prevented
the attending Divine from administer.
ing any spiritual consolation. In ad-
dilion to those corporeal pangs, which
are the common lot Of all animated
beings, the mental rack was here ire
mendous. 1t appeared from the con-
fession Of the dying wretch, that he'
had acquired his property by buying
up sour wines, at a low rate, which by
mixture Of poisonous ingredients, he
restored to their original quality as TO
taste and notwithstanding he observed
his customers all drop off successfully
in consequence Of par.aking freely Of
this deleteriods compound,yet the mon
ster persisted in the abominable traffic,
until within few weeks Of his death.

the following remark:
"These summary and violent pro.

$50 REWARD ;ToP THE HORSE THIEF!

NHE above reward will be given by tho 1 subscriber, for the apprehension of GEORGE ". JOHNSON, committed to Jail for horse stealing, who this day broke custody.
 George VI. Johnson IS blacksmith by trade; takes his liquor freely; talks of his property in other places, more particularly when in his cups and to strangers. He is about feet 104 inches high; square made; between 30 or 35 years of age, rather incli- ned to be of sandy complexion when his beard is long, but, when shaved close, more inclined to fair; his face rather inclined to wrinkle; blue eyes; straight brown hair.-- Had on, when he broke custody, snuff or olive colored box coat; jean pantaloons; a Marseilles vest; gingham shirt, and pair of common shoes. He lost his hat in his flight, in which was found three hundred and fifty dollars, supposed to be counterfea. It is believed that he has friends who will as- sist him in getting off-but it is confidently hoped that all good citizens and friends to their country will aid in securing him, so that he may be punished according to the laws of the country. $.

. s!andalar sHellings, and v:scerai obstr,ic- lions, there is pain, uneasiness, or discom- fort of some kind, which, indeed, consti- tutes the chief grievance of the individual. II is no unimportant matter 10 soothe these sufferngs, during the process employed for their cure. The warm bath effects this purpose in an eminent degree, through it's agency on the sentient extremities Of the nerves distributed over the surface of the body There IS an extensive cham of sympathies established between the skin and the internal Viscera; and, through the medium of this channel, agreeable sensa- tions excited on the exterior, are very often communicated to the central organs and structures themselves. Even in this way, torpid secretions are frequently reused into activity and improved in quality, while the secretory apparatus itself is relieved from host of painful feelings.
 The agency of thermal waters on the vascular system is of the utmost impor- tance. Although the temperature of the blood is 98o of Fahrenheit, the surface of the body, when not fevered, IS very many degrees below that point. The warm bath, therefore; when about blood heat, at tracts strong tide of circulation to the surface, and thus liberates internal organs, for time, from cohgestye state of their vessels. This determination to the surface judgments the cutaneous exhalation, and, by well-known reflex sympathy, iuerea ses the secretion of the great glandular viscera of the intcrior-more especially the liber. Even the gentle and alternate Aux and rehux of the circulation from the interior to the exterior, and vice versa, pro- duce very beneficlal effects, in constitutions where the balance of the circulation Is bro- ken in variety of ways, and where seVer- al secretions and excretions are yitiated, by stagnation i'll some cases, and by inordl- nate action in others.
 The chemical agency of mineral waters IS not to be overlooked. They contain, in all probability, many ingredients which we cannot detect-ahd many known agents, which we cannot initiate by artificial com bnations. This is proved by every days Observation. Thus, the saline aperient materials, in mineral waters, will produce ten times more effect than the identical material, artiicially dissolved and commix- ed. The same IS true with respect to the chalyboa:e springs. A grain of iron in them is more tonic than 20 grains, exhibit ed according to the Pharmaeopeia. It IS On these accounts that course of the sa- line aperient waters, followed by the light chalybeats, as at Ems and other places, combined with the varlous moral and phys ieal aaxiliaries which l have described, fTiay arid do work wonders iii many chronic nlaladies.
 It is, however, in that extensive class of human aflletIons termed nervous, dyspe2- sic, and hypooondriacai, that journey to lhe Baths of Pfeffers offers stroIig tempta- lions. and very considerable hopes of Amendment.
 We make the foregoing extracts, because they apply with equal force to the Hot Springs of Arkansas. The extracts may be of use. We have neither time nor ability to add any remarls of our own.
