To the Public.

Hitherto, having deprecated becoming partaker
OF newspaper controversies, 1t is with emotions Of
difidence that place before the public, part Of
the proceedings of an examination of q school
lately taught by Mr.. A. Hendrix and submit for
its decision a few points in dispute concerning
from the fame Of any person, but merely to pre-.
vent false constructions being put on the matters
alluded to. The primary classes having recited
the grammar class was called forth, and infinitely
examined in the manner it had been taught; when,
Unexpectedly, l was called upon by Mr.. H. to re-.
examine the class; hesitated for a moment, and
no other alternative presenting itself in the inter-
val, but to accept the invitation rendered or tacty
acknowledge myself incompetent to the task, 1
complied with his request. The second sentence,
think, that selected for the class to parse was,
"Honor thy father and thy mother, is required of
all men" The members Of the class arranged
the word "honor" in the imperative mood, from
which dissented, and remarked that il was in the
infnitive. This remark caused violent convul-
sion in one of the house, in consequence Of
which deemed it prudent to retire, as was aware
that those persons had devoted more of their leis-
ure hours to the toilet, than TO Chesterfield or
Murray, and were little acquainted with the gov.
eminent and relation of words. Before retiring,
| referred the point in dispute 10 Mr.. H. who de-
cided in favor Of bis class; from whom appealed
to Mr.. J. Ferguson, whose attention was not d.

favor Of the class, but after having the sentence
repeated and under standing it thoroughly reversed
his decision. The position assumed is supported
by On abundant show Of reason, for by transposi.
ton the sense of the sentence is at once evinced,
and the word ''honor" demonstrated to q mathe.
natical certainty TO be in the infnitive mood; to
place it any other, would be manifest violation of
the note+ under which it Is placed as an example.
With as much propriety, the word successive,
signifying following in order, may be termed an
adjective, and not an adverb. 1--WE may reason
very clearly and exceeding strongly, without
knowing that there is such thing as sylogsm, -
is correct agreeably to many eminent authors. and
to omit the y which follows strong, and add it to
exceeding, would be revolving to the genius of the
English language. In observing upon the words
''joy afterijey," from cursory glance, and with
my feelings a little agitated, Iassumed position
from which seeded after dispassienately exam
lining the verse which contains it; consequently
contend for no more than the points detailed above

PINE AND WILD CHERRY

Are trees Of our own soil, and are generally
known to possess even in the common way Of
preparation, remarkable virtues in the cure of dis
cases Of the Lungs-how much more valuable then
must highly concentrated preparation prove,
when SO combined with other articles as to act in
harmony with each other, and adapted to the
various forms and stages of the diseases it is so
eminently calculated to alleviate.
The Balsam Of Wild Cherry never fails to give
relief, and cures after every other have been
tried in vain. This has been proven in thousands
Of instances, where it had effected radical cures
after the patient had been given up by all his
friends and physicians.

NEW ORLEANS MARKET, May Q.
The Caledonia's arrival placed Us IN poss ession

suspense in which the cotton market had been for
the last three weeks. The news is not favorable,
and has very much disappointed the genera ex-
pectation.
ToBAcco.--The active demand of which we
continued without any abatement. Transactions
have been in some measure circumscribed al
times, the moderate extent Of the stock Of de.
sirable qualities, yet the sales of the week have
been fully 5000 hhds., including parcels Of every

sustained and for bright leafy lots there is ready

FLoUR.-The market was quiet previous to the
arrival of the CaledOnia's news, which came TO
hand on Wednesday last, and which were unfa
vorable to this article. Holders submitted in con.
sequence to q decline of 25c, and some $1,000
bbls. have changed hands at q for Ohio, with O
in small lots to the bakers at - Boa a. rs
Arrived during the week, 1857 barrels.
CoRs.-The news by the Caledonia bringing On
advance Of to IS. per quarter Of 45O lbs, and
confirming the previous reports that the consump.
tioa was rapidly increasing, restored confidence
10 this article, and was followed by larger sales
at rather firmer prices. We quote inferior 3s to
Al, Mixed 43 to as, White and Yellow A. to Soc
The latter for strictly choice lots. Arrived during
the week, 63,620 bills.
WHEAT.-We have heard of few lots inferior
sold AT IS 10 60c. Prime would not command
even Soc. Arrived during the week, Is $3.50 sacks
OArs.-Sales are steady at So to 36lc. pei
bushe in sacks, and 81 &c. in bulk.
PoRK.--The transactions in this article have
been extremely crcumscribed, aud prices have ex
perienced a further decline Mess may be quoted
so rs to. go s7i; Prime 90 rs to SS 81
Rumps Is; Joles &c. The receipts of Bulk Pork
have been very heavy, being not less than 55l 0Ot
lbs. Holders demand &c. for Hog round, but w
have not heard of any sales.
BACON The market has heavy stock, the de-
mand is very limited, and prices very irregular
Sides range from 5 to SIC; Hams uncanvasse
from 5to &c; Canvassed and extra cured to &c
