JOHN H. PEYTON.
Stanton April 18th.

The undersigned. citizens of Staunton
and It's vicinity, take pleasure in stating
that they have long known Mrs. SnEr-
FEY S Seminary, aud have witnessed
with a high degree of satisfaction the
beneficial influence it has constantly ex-
erted upon the cause Of Female Educa-
ton in this section OF the State. The
untiring exertlons OF its conductors have
contributed largely, we think, TO elevate
the standard of female accomplishments,
both useful and ornamental
The care bestowed upon the moral
as well as intellectual culture of the
young Ladies of tine Seminary, commands
our warmest appreciation whilst the
maternal control and superintendence of
Mrs. SHEFFEy herself over the manners
aud personal behaviour of those commits
ted to her care. has, we think we can
safely say, been uniformly productive of
the haPPiest results, and has given gen.
eral satisfaction to parents and guardians.
We doubt not the usefulness Of the In
stitution will be enhanced by the acces.
sion of Miss STONE, whose qualifications
as teacher are very favourably known
10 most Of us.
Upon the whole, without wishing 10
derogate from the just claims of other
Seminaries, we are of opinion that Ka!o-
rama presents advantages not inferior to
those OF any similar Institution within
our knowledge, and we therefore take
pleasure in commanding it to the pub.
lie attention.

Stanton April IL. 1888.

This will certify that Miss Stone, of
Lincoln. Massachusetts,, has resided in
my family, for the last twelve months,
as private teacher and governess of nv
children.
Miss S. was educated at one of the
principal Northern Seminarles, and came
to Virginia highly recommended as
teacher. 1t gives me pleasure TO say,
that during the whole of her residence
under my roof, and in all the relations
she bore towards my family, she gave me
unqualified satisfaction.
Her intimate acquaintance with all the
elementary and higher branches of
good English education is such as would
be looked for in competent teacher;
whilst her knowledge OF the Latin and
French languages enables her 20 convey
instructions in those important studies.
The friends OF Mrs. Shelley have rea.
son to congratulate her upon the acqui-
sition OF tutoress whose natural endow
ments, no less than her attainmenrs, so
well qualify her for the arduous task of
instructing the young.

CoNGREvE ROCKETS.

The following is the best description we
have seen of these destructive instruments
of which Great Britain is so prodigal, and
the fear of which broke up the camp at Ma.
Wy Island.
"The rocket is cylinder of hammered
iron, differing nothing in shape or proportion
from the paper rocket used in innocent fire.
works; il is also furnished with stick as
they are. and fired in the same way. The
difference and the secret, whatever it may
be, is in the composition, which, though in
appearance like an ordinary gunpowder
paste, is of so firm consistence, as to equal
in hardness the iron which surrounds it,
The diameter of the largest rocket hither-
10 used in bombardment, was eight inches;
of the smallest used in field service some
thing less than three; in all cases the length
Of the cylinder is eight times its diameter.
The flight of rockets, too, varies between
1000 and $500 yards, in proportion to their
size. Those intended for bombardment
are usually armed with shells, containing
twenty pounds of powder and strong iron
case Of combustible matter, whose violence
is inextnguishable. For field service they
are either armed with shells, or the top of
the rocket is formed into little mortar,
which may be made to discharge at any
period Of its flight, from fifty 10 two hund.
red musket balls. Three field rockets may
be easily carried by an infantry soldier, and
they need no other apparatus for firing them
than such as may be made from six muskets
and a halbert, should not bank or wall
present more convenient stand. No rock
ct Of more than three hundred pounds has
yet been used even in bombardments but
some time ago, Sir William Congreve, the
inventor, proposed the use of rockets ex-
ceeding ton in weight; these were to car
ry each several barrels of gunpowder in a
massive case of steel; wherever they struck
the impetus oftheir prodigious weight would
force them indifferently through earth and
mason work; thus heaving into the very
centre of the enemy's Notifications a mine
whose explosion would leave but little trace
of the curtain, tower or bastion on which it
should alight.

A D0sl w,s fought at Washington, on the gath

A Duel was fought at Washington, on the gath
ult.,l between Mr. GRAVES of Kentucky, and Mr..
Cn.LrY of Maine, which resulted in the death OF
the latter. Itappears that the author OF the "Spy
in Washington" Matthew l.. Davis) short
time since, in a letter published in the N. Y.
Courier g. Enquirer. charged ono OF the members
of Congress with offering to barter his services in
a certain case, without mentioning'any name
This created considerable excitement. During a
debate upon this question, Mr. c. referred to
the circumstance Of the editor Of tn Courier and
Enquirer, having received, at certain time,
S52, 900 for services rendered, from the United
States Bank. Col Webb repaired to Washing.
ton, addressed a note to Mr.. Cilley, which was
presented by Mr.. Graves. Mr.. Cilley declined
receiving it, stating that he would not hold him
self responsible to the editor of any paper for
words spoken in debate he was then challenged
by Mr. Graves-the challenge was accepted
the weapons chosen were rifles. Mr.. Jones OF
Wisconsin, was Mr.. Cilleys second, and Mr..
Wise of Virginia was Mr.. Graves second. After
the second fire. an attempt was made to settle the
matter-but it appears that Mr.. Wise, Mr..
Graves second would not be satisfied unless Mr..
Cilley would say that Col. Webb was a gentle
man. This Mr.. Cillcy refused to do, but said he
had nothing against Mr.. Graves.
We coin eide in opinion with the editor of the
Buffalo Wing and Journal, wing paper, as ex-
pressed in the following article on the subject:
Murder most Foul.-In another column
will be found an account of the fatal DUEL
which took place at Washington City, on
the oath inst, between Mr.. GRAVES of Ken.
lucky, and Mr.. CILLEY, of Maine. We do
pretend to Justify duelling, in any case, yet
placed as Mr.. G. was, and finding it incom.
patibe with his sense of honor to take back
the assertion he laid at the feet of James
Watson Webb, we can find no fault with
the acceptor of the challenge, but lay the
damning sin at the feet of Mr.. Graves, who
suffered himself to be made tool of, in re-
pelling a charge, the truth of which nobody
knows nor cares any thing about. The
seconds of Mr.. Graves, are, if any thing,
more criminal than the principal. 1t was
the duty of Mr.. G.'s seconds, after the first
fire. to have put an end to the affair, and
Withdrawn the challenge, as there was no
animosity or unfriendly feeling between the
parties. Enough had been done to prove
that Mr.. Cilley was man Of honor and no
coward; enough had passed to appease Mr..
Graves Uounded honor.(O A thousand
deaths were preferable even such as poor
Cilley suffered, than the coward conscien-
ces of principal and seconds. When such
disgusting scenes take place within sight of
the CAPITAL, a place above all others where
rectitude and propriety of conduct should
emanate, we may truly exclaim, "Oh, judg.
ment, thou art fled to british beasts, and
men have lost their reason" -Bu6alo

specting the burning of the steamboat Car

Thursday. We learn that it appears that
the Caroline was entirely destitute of arms
. with the exception of a pocket pistol,and that
not the least preparation or precaution a.
gainst an attack had been made. All the
fighting that took place on the deck arose
from the British soldiers encountering each

~ PRESCRIPTION FOR THE CURE OF

Ev PRESCRIPTION FOR THE CURE OF
Dyspepsia, consisting of Balslm and Tonic
Mixture-This medicine has been used by MANY
hundreds in the Unit,d States and especially IN
some parts of tho western country. Ii is recon-.
mendcd especially for the cure of Dyspepsia, and
as general remedy, it has succeeded beyond the
most sanguine expeditions of the proprietor
And the incre lsing demand for those medicines,
is the best evidence that no could have, that tho
expectations of the Dyspeptic have been fully re-
allied. This Balsam is intended to excite the
ton of the liver, equalize the circulation, purify
the blood, dspel humors improve the state of the
skin, dispel hatulency, and remove crudties
from the stomach, and thereby prevent the gene.
ration of acidi,y and its consequences, in digos-
ton. II is an effsctual remedy for habitual cos.
tvcness. II is wholly vegetable, and perfectly safc
Those who are troubled with costiveness, cholIc,
sick headache, dizziness, sourness of the stomach
cold fcet heart burn W tier brash, swelling of the
stomach. w tb pain after eating, raising the food
after eating, with belching and those who are
much debilitated accompanied with a paptation
of the heart, or with weakness and darrh9a, will
do well to avail themselves of the advantages to
be derived Fl ON the use of these medicines.
In Dyspepsia, the patient should commence by
taking one half teaspoon full one hour before
breakfast, dinner and supper. If this quantity
produces purging, after three or four days, the
quantity may be reduced as to prevent costive-
ness and to continue its use until health is res
tored but if this quantity is not sufficient to
obviate costveness, it should be increased until
the object is accomplished. This balsam is per-
fectly safe, restoring health and vigor to the
stitution in SO short time that patients are apt
to think their disease is removed at too early a
period. and, therefore, omit tn, use of medicine
too soon. If the use of one bottle in any given
case, docs not afford relief, the patient need not
expect relief from its use. In those cases in
which this medicine will succeed, its good effects
will be realized in few days. in that case the
patient should persevere until perfect cure is
effected. In order to do this, the tonic mixture
should be taken ut the same time. See direction'
on the bottle.
