New CoMBINArIoNs.--A correspondent of the erich
mond Wing" proposes new tcket-Henry Clay for
President and Zachary Taylor for Vice President The
same combination is suggested by federal editor in
Jonesborough, Tennessee We have doubt this ticket
will be more acceptable to the federal party generally
for Mr. Clay is their first choice, and may probably be
their candidate again the next election Thus they would
attempt avail themselves of Gen. Taylors popularity TO
elect Mr. Clay. They must have man of their own, if
they find who is available whether they con-
tradct their own previous professions, and go for ga
military chietain, whether they employ his military
eclat elect their favorte candidates One circumstance
ought be noted The district convention which met
at Lexington, Kentucky, the 18th, TO nominate candi
date for Congress, (he Hon. Charles s. Morehead was
the nominee,) did not proceed far gather
from their proceedings in the Lexington Observer OF
the 10TH to nominate General Taylor President. An
idea of that sort thrown out by the meeting in Owen
county, but does not appear to have been carried out
The particular friends OF Mr. Clay have not yet made up
their minds to go the whole.
ANOTHER COMBINATION The national convention Gas
they call themseves) which called by the abolition
iss and held at Macedon, in New York, the sh inst
have nominated Gerrt Smith for President and Elihu
Burritt for Vice President.

The following paragraph is extracted from Wash
ington letter in the New York Herald:

ington letter in the New York Herald:
sit is said that Messrs Cocoan and Riggs specu-
them cns their acres, the
sloOa very profitable speculation and proving at once
OF the spectators, ii this report be the iact."
is an act of sheer Justice these gentlemen to
tradic the above assertion We feel ourselves author
lied to state that Messs Corcoran and Riggs have not
purchased 10 the extent OF $1,000 and have given par
for the few certificates of stock that they have purchased
from the soldiers
This is the second time that have this charge
made in the papers 1t was asserted the other day that
they had purchased, through agent in New Orleans,
from distressed soldiers certificates to the amount of
100000 The whole story is false These gentlemen
have shown their confidence in the credit of the govern
men by subscribing for large portion Of the late loan.
They deserve credit for their public spirit But they
TO mngle in their great transactions any specuations
upon the dstresses of the soldiers who have served their
country.
In connexion with this subject, we suboin the follow
ing article from the Quincy Qllnois) Herald OF the 18th
instant.
BouNry IANps-Last week we warned the returning vol
against allowing themselves be wheedIed OF
their government scrip by crafty SPECTATORS We will
plain ourselves BY examination OF the late law upon
he subject of bounty lands soldiers will be that
those who have served twelve months and been honoraby
discharged, released of sickness disability
entitled for hundred and sixty
government land. Ii they be killed in the service, claim
passes lawful heirs In place OF this hundred and
sixty OF land, he may have if he prefer
scrip the OF hundred dollars with interest
per cent, twenty-five dollars in cash Now scrip
that amount is equivalent to quarter section of land val
ued hundred dollars, and may be exchanged AT
any land Office in the country the applicant, if we mistake
being permitted locate his right where he pleases
the national domain unsod Efforts continually being
made deprecae the scrip for the purpose of getting
,ession of it nominal price. We regret learn
til aem pts have proved successful.
r. unIoibtedly prcfe soldiers
shouu take the lands for which they exchange their
scrip to better advantage than in any other way.

GRANp IMPROVEMENT IN lRoN MANufAcrURE-The ma
chiney of of the furnaces erected within the
past is operated by power but, by the intro
duction of certain important Improvements in which steam
DO wer has decided advantage it is thought II will gener
ay be adopted in preference. AT Jackson's furnace,
Westpor, Massachusetts, steam power is employed and
the advantages thereof together with those Of the improve
mens referred to- such that the of the manufacture
has been reduced nearly 40 per cent A iue is placed
within the furnace chimney funnel, and extends nearly
to the top by this ue the hot gas and smoke is
tnrned and brought down the end OF the steaboier fur
mace where passes through perforated iron plate when
il comes in with atmospheric air whereby bril-
liant combustion produced and this fame passing under
the boilers generates much steam is required for all
the business of the furnace, and drives mill besides
Another Improvement has been projected by gentleman
connected with iron business in Massachusetts, by which
this hot gas the furnace first passed through series Of
chambers enclosing filed with wood which is there
by perfectly charred the gas being afterwards passed to
the engine furnace mixed with air and igned produces
an intense fame The wood is thus converted charcoal
without expense and the pyrogneous acid produced in the
process ordinarily sufficient to pay the entire first of
the wood furnishing charcoal for the iron furnace
of expense.

Great results from small BEGINNINGS,

The possibility of great change heing
introduced by very trifling and slight be-
ginnlmgs, may be illustrated by the tale
which Lockman tells of vizier, who,
having offended his master, was condem-
ned to perpetual captivity in a lofty low
er. At night his wife came TO weep he
fore his window. "Cease your grief"
said the savage, .go home for the present,
and return hither when you have procur-
ed live black beetle, together with lit
lie ghee. or buiialo's butter, three clews,
one of the finest silk, another stout pack
thread. and another Of whip-cord, finally
a stout coil of rope. When she again
came to the foot Of the tower, provided
according to her husbands commands, he
direcied her 10 touch the head of the in
sect with a little ghee, to tie one end oil
the silk thread around him, and TO place
the reptile on the wall of ilie tower. Sc.
dnced by the smell of the butter, which
he conceived TO be in store somewhere a.
bore him, the beetle continued to ascend
till he reached the top, and thus put the
vizier in possession of the end of the silk
thread, by which he drew up the pack
thread, and by means of the cord a stout
rope capable Of sustaining his own weight.
and SO at last escaped from the place of
duresse. Quarterly heUiew.

CASE OF CURE.

SaSB VT AIhE.
About FIVE years since, Mrs. Simons, residing
at Trinity Place, while walking home from
Church, was suddenly taken with a sensation
resembling the sting of on insect on her leg, be-
tween the knee and her ANGLE. The pain and
swelling Of the limb soon bccamc alarming, and
physician was called in, and although be had
the advice aud assistance Of two more Of the
profession, the disease increased 10 such m q:
farming degree that il was feared that she would
be subjected TO the loss Of her leg, for il was not
only lanccd, but the bone was scraped at three
different times.
During three menths' suffering in this eondi-
tion, il did not once occur 10 her wise physician
that corrupt state cf the vital fluid was the pr
mary cause Of all her suiicing--bui at this stage
OF the disease she was ,isited by female fiehd,
who prevailed on her TO taLs the Brandreih Pills to
PURIFY THE BLOOD.
She Immediately commenced the Use Of the
Pills, and two boxes restored her TO perfect health,
and her limb to soundncss.
