Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting
be rendered to Mr.. G. Walker OF Hamburg,
for the generous public spirit which he ex-
hibited in expressing TO this place by spe-
cial messenger the news Of yesterday.
Messrs Thompson, Burt, Noble, Tillman,
and Cochran addressed the meeting in short
speeches highly approaching the gallant |
conduct of our regiment, and passing well
meri,ed eulogiums upon its chivalrous con-
duct.
MIR. Noble offered the following resoiu-
ton to be annexed to those proposed by the
committee which was accepted:
Reso;reI, That the deaths Of Col. Butler
and 1t. COL Dickinson who galiantly fell
at the head Of the South Carolina Regiment
deserve the expression of our sincerest grief
and pity, as we'll as the proud feeling we
experienced for their glorious death; and that

PosrnuMoUs Works OF DR.. CHALMERS,
We are gra,6cd to see by our London
Exchanges that the literary remains of the
late DR.. Chalmers are OF inestimable value.
Among his manuscripts, says the Observer,
is commentary on the Scriptures, as far
as jeremiah The Commentary we un-
ders,and, differs IN its plan from the Com
menaries of Poole, Henry, Scott, and Clark,
and is written in manner which is sure to
render it popular among all classes Of Ev-
anyyelical Christian Among the manu-
scripts fully written out, and iii fit state
lor Puniio",io", GRO also the series Of lectures
which he, as Professor of Divinity IN the
University of Edinburgh, addressed to the
students. whose theological education was
committed to his care, These lectures are
understood to be singnIar!y original and
brilliant. There has likewise been found
among the correspondent which Dr. Chal-
':eEs carried OF with nearly all the distin,
guished men Of the present century, num-
| Der OF letters ola deeply interesting nature,
sufficient to make, with memoir of him
sell, four large octave volumes The whole
Of the Rev. gentleman's manuscripts have
been bought by Mr.. Thomas Cons,a bic,
brother.'n-Iaw of Mr.. Cowan, the new mem
Der Tor Edinburgh, and son Of Mr.. Consta-
BILE, the friend ofSir Walter Scott and pu-
blisher OF all his works. Mr.. Constable has
given the enormous sum of ElO.OOO for
DR.. Chalmers nanuscripts-a sum, we be-
licve, much greater than was ever before
given for the posthumous works OF an au-
thor. The largest amount ever given, un-
der similar circumstances. was E4,OO0,
which Mr.. Murray gave to the sons of Mr..
Wilberforce for his Life and Correspon.

ofthe North American College of Health, are COM
posed Of plants which grow spontaneously on our
own SOIL and are therefore better adapted to our
constitutions than medicines concocted from for
etgn Drugs, however we'll they may be compound

Natural Principles
By cleansing and purifying the body; it will be man
ifest, that if the constitution be not entirely ex-

When we wish to restore swamp or nlorass to

in like manner if we wish to restore the body to
health, we must cleanse it of impurity.
Wr7ghts Indian Vegetable Pills
will be found one of the best, if not the very best
medicine IN the aoorld for carrying Out this
