Il having come to my knowledge ,ha, some
chiefs and officers of the invading army Of The

Vera Cruz, said that General Scou had previ-
ously advised me that the families could leave,
to avoid the evils attendant upon bomhard-

happened are chargeable upon me; in order
that neither now nor atsny future time any ac-

families could have left, the enemy would no,

the Legislative junia. This is the old song,
and the olive branch.
VERA CRUZ, April 90, l847.
An express is in this morning (April 29th.
l847,) bringing intelligence of the continued
advance of Gen. Worth and some disconnected
rumors from the City of Mexico. ,Fhe citizens
are throwing up walls of sand, fancy, around
the place, and expec, the soldiers to defend
them. How far their expectations will be re.
allied, we may judge by The past.
The public voice is openly heard in opposi-

Discovery of a Singular Race Of
FseODfe

The Christian Observer Of Calcutta gives
notice of singular race of people called the
Calhies who inhabi a part OF Guzera. They
are worshippers Of the sun as are The adorug
Parsees.
These people supposed by some TO be
the ancien, Calhe, who in the time of AIexar-
der's invasion occupied portion of the Pun
jaub, near the confluence of the five rivers
Among the Calhes there are no distinctions of
caste. Besides priests they have an official
class Of persons called barbs, who possess au-
lhorily almost equal TO tha, of the Druids-
They become security for the payment Of debts,
the conducs of individuals who have misbe-
haved, and the appearance of persons in pend
ing actions, either civil or criminal. On the
same terms they conduct travellers and cara
vans through districts infested with robbers, or
in state Of war. If troop of predatory horse
appear The barb commands them TO retire, and
brandishing his dagger, takes solemn oath,
that if they plunder the person under his pro-
teclion he will stab himself 10 the heart, and
bring upon their heads the guilt of shedding his
blood.
" Such is The veneration in which he is held
as person Of celestial origin, and such is the
horror at being the cause of his death, that The
threat in almost every instance delers them
from making the medtated attack; and the par
ty is allowed TO pass on unmoles,ed The
religion of the people consists Of liue else than.
an alteration of the sun. They invoke this OBJ
ject of their worship before commencing any
great undertaking, and if a plunGering expedi-
ton is successful, potion of the money stolen
IS consecrated to The service of religion. The
only functions of the priests are 10 celebfa'e
marriages and funeral solemni;ies They have
but one sacred building-a temple situated
near Thaum, dedicated 10 the Sun aad Goa
tanning an image of that luminary The size
of The Cathies is above the average, often ex-
ceeding six feet. The women are tall and of.
ten handsome generally speaking, modest and
faithful 10 their lords. The Calhies have DO
restrictions Of any sort regarding food or drins,
resolution has been passed bv the Legs
iature OF Louisiana, authorizing he Governor

rIes a, Vera Cruz and Cer.o GoIdo,

IYgVHE GREAT PREVENTIVE MEDICINES!
4 Though Wrzght's Iadian Vegetable Pills have
achieved triumph upon triumph liz the cure of OBJ
stlnate cases Of disease, even after they had been
entirely given up, and after all other remedies had
failed, yet their power of prevention may be justly
esteemed their
GROWING GLORY!
Storms it is said, purify the air., but storms do
mischief also, and are so far an evil. Were it
within human power to maintain the
ELECTRICAL EQUILIBRIUM
between the earth and air, there would be no occa-
sion for storms, for the air would always be pure
So of the human body. If kept free from NOR
bid humors; the action is regular and healthy. But
if those .humors are allowed to accumulate, cri-
sis, or in other WORDS storm, will arise, which
is always more or less dangerous.
wRIGHT's INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS
are equally well calculated to prerent the storm,
or to allay it when it comes. But
PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE,
besides being cheaper and less troublesome. The
delay of day in the commencement of sickness
has often proved fatal, and always renders the case
more difficult TO manage.
Let the sickness be caused by
CHANGES OF WEATHER,
high living, want of exercise, close confinement,
functional arrangement, or anything else, the eff
feet upon the body is much the same lis equally
dangerous, and is removable bv lhe same means.
HAVE YOU a COLD
Let it not rpen into Consumption Are you Dys
pepticl Beware ofthe hypochondra. Two Pills
taken every other night on an empty stomach, for
for short time, will in nine cases out often, cure
the Dyspepsia, and thereby drive away the legion
of devils blue" For Headach, no medicine is
superior to
WRlGHT's INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS.
Costlveness, that prolific mother of disease. is
caused by torpid state of the liver, which these
Pills e1ectually BY striking at the root of
disease, Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills prevent
all and cure all. They can hardly ever be taken
amiss, if used with common discretion and we
commend them to the use of those who have not
yet tried them.

VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS.


The only knoaon medicine that at the same time pur-
geS, putgfes, and strengthens the system.
nR. LIE ROY'S Pills are new medicine
~ which has just appeared, and is fast taking
the places of all others of the same class. These
pills are composed of many ingredients, but the
two principal ones are Sarsaparilla and Wild Cher
ry, so united that they acttogether the one through
its admixture with other substances purifying and
purging, while the othor is strengthening the sys
TEN. Thus those pills are at the same time tonic
and opening; desideratum long and eagerly
sought for by medicinal men, but never before dis
covered. In other words they do the work of the
two medicines, and do it much better than any
two we know of ; for they remove nothing from the
system but the impurities; so that while they purge
they strengthen; and hence they cause no debili-
tation, and are followed by no reaction. DIR. LIE
Roy's Pills have wonderful irfuence on the
blood they not only purify without weakening it,
but they remove all noxious PARTICLES from the
chvle before it is converted into fluid, and thus
makes impure blood an utter imposslbllity. S
there is no debiliaton, so there is no nausea
or sickness attending the Operations OF this most
excellent of medicines, which never strains or
tortures the digestive functions, but causes them
to work in perfectly natural manner and hence
persons taking them do not become pale and
emaciated but the contrary; for while 1t is the
property of the Sarsaparila, united as 1t is with
other ingredients, to remove all that is foreign and
impure it is equally the property OF the Wild Cher
to retain all that is natural and sound and hence
robost state health is the certain result OF their
united operations.
