The Beautiful Die!-And those also

of benevolence and untiring devotion in
ameliorating the condition Of man Alas!
how relentless are thy darts, oh death! But

Consumption, the unsuitable pOiIer, VAS formerly
most to be feared; but thanks to the inventive
genius of civilized man a remedy has been
found that has proved itself an almost invaTi-
Bile specie for this most dire disease. Ifresort
be had to the BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY in the
early stages of Consumption, a positive cure
may be relied upon. Thousands of the most
interesting cures are constantly taking place,
but let ALL who would get the right medicine
inquire particularly for DR.. Wistar's Balsam,
as the basest limitations are abroad.
The genuine Wistar's Balsam is sold by

New USES OF COTTON. "A writer in the

mattresses and pillows are now made in Germa-

men of the articles were recently brought to
this city from Bremen. The cotton is prepar-

elastic. There is no doubt, it is said, that cot

for many purposes. Thus, the consumption of
American cotton must vastly increase every
year."

Mexican Items,


We gather from the Picayune the following
news:
GUAlMAs.-There was a report in Vera Cruz
on the Sd inst, that Guaimas had been attacked
by the Americans, and after the loss of TWEEN
ty-fve men, they were Obliged to desist, with
out being able to land.
Last month, (September,) at Angeles, there
was a mutiny, which was not got under until
man" were killed and wounded. The French
Consul at Monterey, Mons. Gasquet, had been
made prisoner, on the Goth September, by the
Americans, for having protested against the oc-
cupation Of California. An English vessel
Immediately sailed for the Marquesas, with
dispatches from Mr.. G.. to the French Admi-
raj. The American squadron is represented
by the Mexicans as exceedingly weak The
men disembarked are consequently SO few,
that some of the points garrisoned by the
Americans, have only eight or ten men for
their protection. The whole coast of the two
CALIFORNIA; are under blockade, A story is
related OF a native chief, whose son was killed
some time ago, having, within the last three
months, appeared at the head of 1000 of his
tribe, demanding reparation. A United States
corvette lately appeared off Guaymas, with an
intention of taking possession Of that place
but the captain Of the port, Spencer, with two
or three guns, aided by a body of volunteers,
fired on her, killing and wounding several Of
her crew. She was obliged to retire. There
was only one ship-of-war of the United States
at Mazatlan, but the Americans were expect.
ing shortly a force of $500 men, wherowith to
take possession of the port. The merchants
were removing their goods to Ell Rosario. The
Me1icans do not believe this, in view Of the
paucity of disposable troops which the Ameri.
cans have in the Pacific.

The way to make Governors & Judges

The way to make Governors & Judges
We expressed a very little surprise at the
summary mode in which greasy Mexicans
were manufactured into native citizens by the
~N.prcsto! change" of Gen. KeOrney. But this
treat has performed another feat
that far exceeds the former. BY another wave
Of his magic wand, and simply u%ttering the
cabalistic words, 'by the authority OF the Presl-
dent Of the United States,' these same citizens
are at once changed into Governors, Judges
&c. Well might Paddy commisserate the stu
alton Of Judge Elliot, who was SO prosecuted
for making a few illegal votes. But Paddy
ought to ~recollect that there is a great differ
ence between the small thief, who flches
paltry pocket handkerchief, and the plundere
Of nations. The following Proclamation hav
inc appeared in the official organ, ma be cor
sidered genuine. Why Doesn't Taylor max
citizens and governors? Is he not as potent
magician as Kearney.

sident Of the United States of America, her
