ga MISTAKE OF THE PRINTER."-In the case of
DR.. Ambrose Barber, of Macon, Geo., who lately died
in consequence of taking his own medicine, an ac-
count given on the authority of a letter to the N. Y.
Tribune, states that ''the Druggist sent the medicine,
with a message that whoever took it would be killed.
The patient thereupon refused to take it, when the
Doctor, to convince him that there was no danger,
swallowed it himself. He died in half an hour. The
prescription was copied exactly from a medical work,
but the quantity of Prussic acid was eight times
larger than it should have been. So much for the eff
fects of a typographical blunder :" Now we will
venture to say that this story is told by a doctor, for
the purpose of covering up the ignorance of the sold
and highly esteemed physician" DR.. Barber. Other
wise, why is not the book containing the dangerous
error mentioned ! The Druggist, it seems, knew well
enough the deadly nature of the potion and is it
reasonable to suppose that a physician would, at any
rate, use so terrible a poison on the authority of one
book alone Certainly not, unless he was a fool or
something worse. This attempt to make the DOCTORS
own blunder ga mistake of the printer won't do.
Strange, that editors generally copy the above ridicu-
lous statement, without seeing through and ~rebuking
its folly and impudence. The doctor himself was
alone to blame, and, thanks to his ovn gross igno-
rance, he was justly and appropriately punished. If
more doctors were served in the same way, grave
stones would tell a different story from what they now

SHIPPING LosT.-In addition to a large number OF
vessels lost on the coast during the violent storms OF
last month, we have yet more to chronicle, together
with the loss of more lives in consequence. The
ship Edgar, of Brunswick, Maine, from New Orleans
to New York, with a cargo of cotton and flour, was
lately lost on Absecom beach. The Packet ship Hen
ry Clay, of New York, on her home passage from
Liverpool, was also lost on Squam beach, and several
of her passengers and crew drowned. This ship was
nearly new, very staunch, and of some 1900 tons bur-
den.
From the accounts which have reached US, giving
the particulars, we are inclined to think that the cap
tain mnst have been very negligent of his duty. In
one account it is stated that he was not aware of his
proximity to the coast in another that he ods, and
kept lights burning for a pilot. We should be inclin-
ed to believe the former statement because neither
of the accounts represent the gale as unusually vio-
lent. With such a ship as the Henry Clay, had he
been aware of his proximity, and the gale at south
west, he surely could have made an ofing. And is it
not the duty of those interested to examine the log :!
to ascertain if the lead and thermometer were brought
into requisitionl If they were not, we should hold
him equally culpable with the steamboat captains,
who risk the lives Of their passengers by racing their
boats.
These subjects are claiming, in a measure, public
attention and it is high time they should. Several
years of seafaring life, commencing at the " hawse-
hole'' and ending at the " cabin windows" have
learned us this: That a very large portion of the
blame attached TO unfortunate commanders, properly
and Justly belongs to the owners. For the sake of
saving a few dollars, they frequently employ totally
incompetent men, who, knowing nothing, fear moth
ing.
And this is not done at their own risk in a hum
dredth degree to the risk incurred by passengers and
crews. Their loss may consist of the ship and part
of a cargo; and perhaps their cheap officers. The
latter is a gain to them in many instances, especially
if they leave no "~half-pay ORDERS" They are gener-
ally well insured. But on the other hand, who in
sures the lives of the passengers, or their property,
in many cases, their all! A reform is much needed
in our commercial marine in this respect. Public
sentiment should, if insurance companies will not,
agitate the subject, till competency on the part of the
officers, and a sufficient crew, In proportion to ton
mage, is made the ldD. Sailors would then be treat
ed like human beings. A regulation, giving five
men and a boy to each hundred tons, might omewhat
c~urtail the immense profits of the owners, but poor
jack would profit much more by it, in a better oppor-
tunity for improving his mind, than all the " Bethels''
in Christendom can profit him. Z
Did it not look a little strange for one away out here.
we might occasionally notice a few reforms suggested
by eight years experience. Delay!

ton Herald of the 4h says
"Terre Haute. like indianapolis, has a considerable
number of corrupt and rotten Wings. whose stencil
Is offensive to every honest politician"
This, from a Wing paper, which processes to
sschew "Billingsgate epithets," and always to keep
its temper, is certainly very complimentary to the
leaders Of its own party. Terre Haute by the way,
supports two Wing papers. Is this the cause or the
effect of the corruption and rottenness of which the
Herald speaks!

Grin our semi-weekly Of Feb. %, we copied GER
taia extracts from the Washington correspondence of
Anew York paper, which we found in the "Philadel-
phia Ledger suggesting the probable immediate
satisfactory and pacific adjustment of the Oregon
difficulties" The reasons given by the writer for his
opinion, were, in part, as follows:
"For a reduction in the duiy on ,coolen and cotton
goods, as proposed by Mr.. Walker, | am disposed to
believe Great Britain uiH leare as to fir the bounda-
ries Of Oregon TO Sutt our selreS the salve to her
honor will be the full employment of her spinning
jennics, while the belligerent Western States will be
cooled down ia their war fever by the prospect of so
great a market as Great Britain for their rich agri-
cultural products" ''John Bull, to make the bargain,
could thrOao IN the whole Of Oregon"
We copied the extracts. of which the above is a
part, more as Items Of Est1s than for any special poll
ticGl purpose and we were not SO fearful of a want
of sense among our readers. as to suppose they would
have an injurious influence upon their minds.
In introducing these extracts we said:
alt appears by various statements from Washing
ton, that the Oregon difficulty is likely to be adjusted
through the medium of a Commercial Treaty. We
have supposed for some time that this would be
the final result. We may now expect to see the
Wing organs change their tune, and, instead of re-
commencing our government to give up the whole of
the miserable territory " to the British, they will be
disposed TO claim the "last inch" for the purpose of
saving the 'DenencenI tarlu or Ic4Z."
The opinion we here expressed was elected especi-
ally by the extract we r~epublish above from the Wash
ington letter, pointing to the probability, that Great
Britain, to avoid further difficulty, would herself make
an adjustment of our tariff to the revenue standard
the Pretert or grouse for relinquiShing her claims to
ell or nearly all of Oregon. We have never doubt
ed, that if our Government, including Congress, should
assume and maintain a firm and positive attitude, and
at the same time afford some good Pretert, as above
indicated, to Great Britain, that the whole matter
could be Immediately and advunta geously settled. We
believe yet, that it can be, and only be peacefully,
settled, IN some such uay.
The prediction we made as to the change Of tune
by the Wing papers, has been verified at least in this
State. They have renewed their old cries in favor of
q protective tariff, and some of them are even ready
in spite of Wing Senators, not only to claim ''the
whole of Oregon" but to go to war for it!
We have been induced to recapitulate these facts,
as the matter has been misrcpresented in a certain
quarter, and perhaps may have been misunderstood in
s.herS.

have news from that port to the 10th March, when
nothing certain was known about Mr.. Slidell. The

was not larger than it has been for some time past,
there being only from twelve to fifteen hundred men

atoms, Tirrell who murdered his paramount, Mrs. Bick-
ford, at Boston, not long since, has been acquitted, for
want of proof. We have read the evidence, and
have no doubt of his guilt. This is another evidence
of the folly of the law of death punishment.
Tirrell is still held to answer to an indictment for
arson, which in Massachusetts is punished by death.
His life is therefore in peril yet, unless, as the Phila-
delphia Ledger observes, the jury determine that the
woman set fire to her own room and bed after she
committed suicide. As his conviction of arson de-
ponds upon the same testimony presented in the muir
der charge. this will probably be the conclusion of the
Jury.

Oregon and the WING Leaders.

WEBSTER, the Representative of Queen Victoria
in the United Senate, has at last showed his hand.
Impatient, apparently, at the circumlocutory course
of other Wing Senators to accomplish the same end,
by standing up, and in the face of the world arguing
in favor of the superior or equal rights and claims of
Great Britain to Oregon-thus insidiously encourage
ing her to continue firm in the position which her
own Prime Minister, in Parliament, had declared to be
of doubtful tenure,-Webster, we say, apparently
impatient Of this dlatory, though sure process of d-
v~esting our own country of her just and well-estab-
lished rights, has at length openly proclaimed in the
Senate, what, but a little while ago he said should
blister the tongue of any man TO say, that the rights
Of England are equal 10 our own not only equal,
but superior and now pompously declares it as his
uliimatun1, that the question must be settled by CIV
ing England not only all the territory north of AZ,
but, added to that, the free navigation of the Column

government, with all its unequalled audacity, has
dared to claim. 1t is in effect giving up to England

who have so recently declared for war rather than a

ly uniustifably cede away our rights to the ~imperiou:
