A Coin WATER GALLANT.-Joe Sykes, d

y ork Commercial from the southern counties
of the State, immortalizes wag by The name
of Manrew, contractor on the New York
and Erie Railroad, who owns wagon, the
fore wheels of which are as large as the hind
wheeis.-One Of his horses he calls Fanny,
the other Ellsler, and he says "Ellsler~is
whole team.' One day he stopped to dine
and feed his horses. pretty damsel waited
at the table and came to fiji his tumbler when
ever he rang the bell to call her from an adj
joining room. He was smitten with her beau
ty. and drank his glass dry as quickly as poss-
ible, that he might have the pleasure Of seq
ing her fill it again. His desire to see her,
however. exceeded his capacity 10 hold all tho
water she poured out. and, seeing a jar Of
pickles standing in the room, instead Of drink
ing the water, he poured il into The jar, re-
peating his calls for the damsel to fili his
tumbler till he had filled the jar to overflow
ing. His reputation for drinking waier, af
course, soon spread over the nsighhorhocd,
and the secret was not found out until tho
good landlady discovered that the liquid Id
the jar had been diluted, and her picked CD
cumbers thereby destroyed.

PATRIoTIsM.-We copy the following from
the Natchez Free Trader. Its ardent patriot
ism will meet with hearty response from ev-
cry true democrat -
The English papers speak Of war, and
gravely and approvingly publish their plan Of
conducting it. 1t appears that project has
been drawn up by distinguished officer and
submitted to the ministry, and thence found
ITS way into the ministerial organ. The prop
osition is to make no war on the south, but to
enforce rigorous blockade on the whole nor
them coast, thus break up the manufactures,
transfer the carrying trade Of English bottoms
and make it the interest Of the south to de,ach
itself from the Union. John Bull never gave
more pointed example Of his gulibility, than
in the favor with which this preposterous plan
seems to have been received. We are averse
to war, utterly AYERS to it. We are strongly
oPposed-(we speak of the people,) 10 the
anii-free trade and tariff doctrines Of some of
the manufacturing States; but lei England
strike but one bow-nay more, let her coRiin.
ue while longer to outrage our flag and en-
croach on our Territory, and she will fad that
IN this country there is neither norM nor south.
The Republic, when the sword is drawn,
Knows no party and no divisions. It is all
Home. The anti-tariff men of the south will
light as warmly for the manufactures Of the
north, as if they were all tariff men; and when
our coasts are invaded by Jamaica recruits,
the north will send its gallant sons to our aid,
to earn for themselves the glory which their
fathers earned on our fertile plains in the war
of the revolution.

The FISCAL AGENT.-The very first princi-
pie in it is for the Government to BORROW Of
the people on its credit $I5,O0O,OO and iss.
ue notes for the amount. The next principle
is to LEND to spectators on their race horse,
bills, Sl5,00O,OOO Of the Government credit
With this credit Of the Government, specula-
tors will get possession of the produce
of the people, and when their credits,
which they have exchanged with the Govern
ment. fall due, they will meet by drawing an
other. Gradually and inevitably the whole
mass Of individual assets held by the Govern
ment will become unavailable kting biAs-ihe
whole operation causing an initiation of the cur
rency that will inevitably bring on a foreign
specie drain. In that hour of danger the Treas
ury will call in vain upon its debtors. Tho
faith Of the Government will be dishonored,
and commercial credit sinking among univer-
sal bankruptcy, the country will be reduced to
state of barter, and the scorn and contempt
of our wronged foreign creditors. This must
inevitably be the result of adopting borrow
ing system, and the catastrophe will be has.
tened by the fact that as prices rise, the inahil-
ity to export produce in payment Of the aug
mented imports Of foreign goods will increase.

MALICE oUTwITTED.-The owner Of saw
mill in the country, having bitter enmi,y a.
gainst neighbo,ing farmer, laid plan to get
him arraigned as thief, convicted, and sent
to the penitentiary. But as the honesty Of his
neighbor afforded him no fair grounds for ac-
cusation, he resorted to the fou! expedient Of
secretly conveying lumber on to his neighbor's
premises SO that being found there it might
be aproof Of his dishonesty. For this purpose,
he took tiIUusand of boards, having his own
mark on them, and at the dead of night. placed
them in a field near his neighbors house. But
the farmer was not so sound asleep as his en-
envy supposed. He heard noise, or he tho't
he heard one, and getting up pretty soon after,
to satisfy himself on the subject, by the help
of a light, he found the load of boards, with
the sawyers mark thereon. How they came
there, aud why they came, flashed upon his
mind at once. His course was promptly Ia
ken. Allowing his enemy just time to get
home and into bed, that the light of the burn
ing pile might not be detected, he set fire to
the boards, which being we'll seasoned, were
soon consumed.
Early in the morning, as the farmer had an
ticipated, the sawyer came, with constable,
and a search-warrant, to look for his property.
You are suspected said the officer to him,
'of having taken thousand boards from this
man, and by virtue ofthe warrant hold in my
hand, must search your premises
Very well,' replied the farmer, you are at
liberty to search as much as you please and
if you find the boards, I'll engage to eat them
for my breakfast

EFFECTS OF ToBAcco ON MAN.-In small
doses, tobacco causes a sensation of heat in
the throat and often feeling Of warmth at
the stomach; these effects, however, are less
obvious when the remedy is taken in the Ii.
quld form, and largely diluted. By repeti-
ton 1t usually operates as diuretic, and less
frequently as laxative. In larger doses it
provokes nausea, purging and vomiting
Though it seldom gives rise to abdominal
pain, 1t Introduces most distressing sensation
OF sinking at the pit Of the stomach. 1t occa-
slonaly acts as an anodyne, or more rarely
promotes sleep--- but its most remarkable ef-
fects are languor, feebeness, relaxation Of
muscles, trembling of the limbs, erea, anxiety,
and tendency to faint. Vision is frequently
enteebled, the ideas confused, the pulse small
and weak, the respiration is somewhat labori-
Gus, the surface cold and clammy, or ba,heJ in
cold sweat, and in extreme cases conclusive
movements are observed. IN excessive doses
the effect is Of the same kind, but more violent
In degrees.
The smoking Of tobacco, by those unaccus-
toned to ii, gives rise TO all the before describ-
ed effects Of large and excessive doses. A
very interesting case, which had almost ter
minated fatally, is related by DR.. Marshall
Hall. 1t was that of young man who for
NO hiS' CSodys StuOheu tWU pIpcSs OtUSJiIN
mentions two cases Of death from smoking, in
the one Of seventeen. in the other Of eighteen
pipes at sitting. In habitual smokers, the
practice when employed moderately, provokes
thirst, increases the secretion of saliva and
buccai mucus, and produces a remarkably
soothing tranquiizing effect on the mind which
has made it SO much admired and adopted by
all classes Of society, and by all nations, civi-
lized aud barbarous. The practice Of chewing
tobacco is principally confined 10 sailors, and
is less frequently submitted to our observation,
SO we are not competent to speak of its effects,
which probably are similar to those canced by
smoking. The application of tobacco to abra-
ded surfaces is very dangerous practice, ard
has, in some instances, been attended with
violent or even fatal results. Mr.. West has
related case in which the expressed juice of
tobacco was applied to the head of boy aged
eight years, for the cure of tinea capi,is.-
Death took place in three hours and half af-
ter the application.-Pereira's Materia Medi-
ca.

LouIsIANA.-Gov. Roman, ia his annual
message to the Legislature of Louisiana. Just
convened has the following interesting passage:
" Having learned that there existed in the
archives Of the French Government. = great
many manuscripts relative to the colonial his
tory of Louisiana, have obtained, through the
obliging exer.ions of Gen. Cass, our minister
near the Court of France, the permission to
have them examined aad copied. One Of our
fellow citizens who was at Paris at the time.
undertook that task and has prepared cata-
logue OF the manuscripts, with short synopsis
OF the contents OF each. This work, which
has required much time and labor, will soon
be laid before you. The first in date Of the
documents is the proees-verbal Of taking pos
session, by Lasalie in 1852, Of the country 10
which he gave the name of Loisiana and the
last is the trial Of the Loisianians, executed in.
1859. by ord er of O'ReiIly. Some OF these
papers cast new light upon many paaes~os
our annals. which the then Government az
France and Spain did not think it polite to
make public. II will appear, for instance, that
the true object OF the conspiracy which Ore
lily deemed it his duty to extingussh in the
blood of its chiefs, was not, as then proclaim
ed, to restore the colony to the doninion of
France, but to establish Republican Govern
ment under the protection Of England. So
that Latreniere and Villere, were the first mar
;yrs of American liberty, and poured out their
blood in the attempt to establish Republic in
Louisiana, eight years before the Declaration
of independence Of l776. AS no correct his
tory of Louisiana can be written without the
aid of the information contained in those man
uscripts, you will doubtless appropriate with
pleasure the small sum necessary to have them
copied.

HrNpoo WIT.-A Hindoo woman having
been summoned TO give evidence before the
court of judicature in Calcutta deposed that
such circumstance had happened in her pres
ence. The judge asked her where it happen
ed she replied, in the varandah of such a
house. "Pray my good woman" said the
Judge how many pillars are there in that We
randall p The woman, not perceiving the
trap that was laid for her, said without much
consideration, that the verandah was support
ed by four pillars. The counsel for the OPP
posite party Immediately offered to prove that
the verandah contained five pillars, and that,
consequently, no credit could be given to her
evidence. The woman perceiving her error,
addressed the Judge, and said, my lord, your
lordship has for many yeare presided in this
court, and every day that you come here, as
cend flight of stairs: may beg to know how
many steps these consist Of? The judge con-
fessed he did not know. s'Then," replied
she if your lordship cannot tell the number
of steps you ascend daily to the seat Of justice,
it cannot be astonishing that should forget
the number of pillars in balcony tina. new
er entered half-a-dozen times in my life. The
judge was much pleased with the woman s
wit, and decided in favor of ner party.

OREGON TERRlToRY.-There have been for
several years past many efforts made to procure
the eiilcIent action OF the national government
with regard 10 the interests of this territory |;
and no one has striven more zealously and
Faithfully in This matter than our able senator,
Mr.. Linn. Every day it becomes more inn
portant, that our rights there should be secur-
ed, and the,American settlers protected. That
vast region Of country ia destined in less than
hatf century to be one of the richest and
most delightful parts Of the United States
The popularity of its climate and situation
stretching along the Pacific--wil soon begin
to attract crowds Of immigrants and nothing
seems wanting to effect its speedy settlement,
but proper attention on the part of the general
government. The British are determined, if
possible, to get a permanent foothod there !;
and unless their claim be put to res, now. ii
will hereafter cost much blood and treasure to
disposess them. At the large meeting of the
democrats Of this city and county on Saturday
last, there was strong expression Of the sem
ilnlent prevailing in this and the adjoining
states and territories upon this subject, and
we hope will show to Congress the necessity
OF secondlng the movement Of DR.. Linn be-
for: another adjournment takes place. From
the following it will be perceived that the tide
OF emigration to that territory has received
new impulse
OReGoN.-A meeting was called al Inde-
pendence, TO take place on the 10th inst, for
the purpose Of forming company Of emf
grants to Oregon territory. Mr.. John Green
bury. an old :rapper, offered his services as
guide in the event ola company being formed.
