The undersigned having purchased
Of F. A. TYLER Esq. the Weekly Regis
ter Office, deem it their duty TO address
themselves TO its Patrons and The public,
in relation tc the manner in whichit will,
in future, be conducted.
In thus assuming the high duty oI
conducting public journal, they may,
perhaps have presumed too much upon
their abilities and the indulgence of the
public; bat they feel assured, that il
application and unremitting attention,
be the chief requisites to ensure the
patronage Of liberal and enlightened
public, the success Of the Register wall
be certain.
The political aspect Of the Register,
will undergo no change. To the Wing
party we belong; and in the ranks OF
that party, weintend TO do battle, wheth
er victory perch upon our standard, or
defeat and ruin rage around US. We
hold the principles of the Wing party
to be the true principles ofthe Govern
ment--the principles handed down to US
by the sages offs.
Although the result ofthe recent con-
test has proved most disastrous TO US
although our banner has trailed IN the
dust--although its "stars and stripes
have grown suddenly dim,'' and our
armies routed and scattered, every
where, yet, like valiant soldiers, we
will snatch up our banner, and brush the
dust from its folds; and rally for anoth-
er contest,
The Register willSnot be devoted ex-
cIusiyelv to Political intelligence. As

to amuse and delight our readers, "hlle
we shall at the same time publish what

We publish the following because
we think it an important discovery
Try it, Dr.:
CURING HORSES EYEs.-There is no
disease so prevalent among horses al.
the south, as that of bad eyes. This is
no doubt owing 10 the practice of put
ting them under the saddle before they
are sufficiently strong. The result is an
affection of the spine, manifesting itself
by diseased eyes. We have a very
fine animal but six years old affected
in this way and from this cause. One
eye is almost entirely useless, altough
inflammation was entirely removed by
seton leaving the pupil white. The
other become inAarned covered with a
blush film, and thick white spot had
risen over nearly half the eye, when
at the suggestion Of an experienced sta
BILE keeper, we bled her at the nose by
thrusting a pen knife into the soft flesh
Just above the nos,ril. The sesult was
Immediate reduction of the inflammation
and restoration of sight, after second
second incision. The same gentleman
has recovered the eyes Of two horses
in the same way, which seemed entire
~ gone-one of them having actually
sunk IN the head. We consider the re-
medy an excellent one, and the matter
Of sufficient interest TO give it publicity
The knife should be employed every
two or three days until a cure is is eff
fected, which will most certainly take
place. At least we have full confidence
in the remedy. Many very valuable
horses may be saved in this simple way
rom becoming entirely blind.

ANECDoTE ABOUT GEN JACKSON

a correspondent of the Catoctin, Md, Wing,
writing from the Blue Mountains, relates the
following
During the campaign between Gen. jackson
and John q. Adams for the Presidency, there was
preaching at private house some S or 9 miles
north OF your village. After the preacher had
been some time strenuously holding forth, as he
thought, the object of his mission, he made short
pause and with his penetrating eyes fixed upon
his audience, he deliberately put the question ::
All who are for God will hold up their RIGHT
hands 2" The preacher waited some time for a
compliance, but all was silent as the grave-not
one finger was then raised. WE'LL" saws he.
-" all who are for the devil, let them raise their
hands" But this only made his audience more
motloniess than before, when he exclaimed
why none for God and none for the devil !
W ho are you for? AT that request anold bruiser
raised up his head and cried out at the ton of his
voice: We are all for jackson by de lawp,

THE HOURS OF LABOR

When we recently called for information upon
the working hours of the operative girls in the
factories, we had no expectation of receiving it SO
promptly, and in SO authentic form. The fol-
lowing communication OF an intelligent cores
pendent gives us precisely what we wanted. He
gives it, too, in the most conclusive form. We
are certain that no man can read these facts
without wish to see a reform. The STRONGEST
bodied bricklayers and carpenter in this CITY work
only ten hours in the longest day of the year
and that, too, in the fresh, open air. In some Of
the winter months, they work but nine bours
And yet here are tender girls, who are doomed
in the close atmosphere Of factory, made less
wholesome by the floating fibres Of the materials
on which they work, to labor twelve or thirteen
hours We trust that the report which is to
emanate from the committee of Pittsburg will
put forth all the facts upon this subject with the
eoquence and force Of which they are susceptible.
We recommend the facts stated in the follow
ing communication 20 every reader, and especial
ly TO every editor in the Union.

THE QUESTION ANsWERED

We give place to-day to the Answer of the
Question put by the Washington Union, in rela
ton to the hours of labor exac,ed by the manufac-
turing monoPolists in New England, from their
slaves These are facts, and yet there are some
among us who would advise these prison houses
to be erected here, that our smiling sons and
daughters may be imrnured in them to labor for
gloated wealth, while the government passes
laws to protect such labor. We trust that the
free Democracy of the South will long keep such
curse from our soil, that if once introduced
will entail eternal slavery upon our descendants,
We like the spirit of the Unions correspondent.
and more than all the closing paragraph, which
appearing where it does, we hope will have due
weight with the Executive.

VERY PLEASANT AND BECOMING

The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, gives
the following account Of pleasant row that oc-
CURED in the Orphans Court in Washington, on
Friday the 10Th instant. Comment is unneces-

An officer Of the Treasury Department was
cited to appear as witness in case, hearing be-
fore Judge Causin, in the Orphans Court, and
made his appearance there this morning.
One ct the parties and this gentleman had
some very dlsfesPeciful words. in which the term
" liar" was used much more frequently than
should have been permitted. The counsel of the
party at this time came into court. and was an
pealed to by his client to substantiate his asser
ton. The counsel either did so, or was uoder-
stood by the witness as doing so ; when the vii
ness asked the counsel if he (the counseD intend.
ed to call him (the witness) liar, sccofnpanv.

blow was paired, and the witness was thrown ON
