bility.
DESCRIPTION &c.
JOHN BULL is dark mahogany bay, I years old
this Spring. IS hands 3 inches high, and in fine
life and health. This horse was imported into
the United States by the late Capt. James M
White, Of Selma, Missouri, in the year 1912, and
has been brought to this place by the undersigned,
because of their settled conviction that he is Just
the horse the farmers of the country need. Every
one wishing to possess himself of the most SUI
perior draft and farming stock, should avail him
self of the opportunity now presented, as it may
be the last, (the horse being owned by persons
living in the southern part of the State) This
horse is the full height we have stated, and his
form, weight and general appearance indicate the
greatest strength and service that can be desired.
We invite the public and especially all those
who wish to improve the size, strength and stamina
of their stock to call and see him before making
other engagements, satisfied as we are, that none
can fail to be pleased
The pedigree of this horse is now in the pos
session of Col. Ferdinand Kennel of St. Louis
and will be procured in time to answer all the
purposes of his patrons. The season has now com
menced and will end the 4th of July next.

RHEUMATISM in all its varied forms, Nervous
Affections, Lang and Liver complaints, Spinal
Affections, Female weaknesses, DC, DC. For the
above complaints this plaster has no equal. The
great celebrity which it has already acquired not
only in the old but in the new world, the extra
ordinary cures it has performed in the most ex-
IRENE cases of suffering, have acquired for it such
reputation, that the proprietor has not (until
recently been able to supply half the demand.
The sales throughout every city, town. and vii
lage in the United States are without PARALLEL!
A circumstance not surprising when the vast
amount of human suffering relieved by its use be
considered. In spinal defects the benefit usually
is Of the most decided character. In Nervous
complaints, nineteen cases out of twenty readily
yield TO the penetrating stimula combined in this
valuable preparation.
In Rheumatism either acute or chronic the claims
of the Hebrew Plaster have long since been uni
versally acknowledged. Those who are laboring
under weak backs, no matter from what cause
the weakness may have originated, (even if such
person have been misguided in previous appli-
calions) in the use of the Hebrew Plaster they
will find the affected part suddenly restored to its
original soundness.
As supporter in cases of constitutional ,ceak-
ness it will be found Of great advantage. 1t is
particularly recommended to Females who are
suffering from sudden weakness, or general de-
bility. 10 short, it embraces all the virtues which
the most scientific mind was capable Of compound
ing from valuable substances found in the old
world, and will be found entirely free from those
objections which are q source of complaint with
the numerous spread plasters now before the pub
lie.
ErThese plasters possess the advantage of
being put up in tight Boxes, hence, they retain
their full. virtues in all climates.

VERA Cruz, Oct. 3, IS47.
to-day we have news from Cerro Gordo,
that the guerrllleros attacked Capt. Feather
ston's Louisiana Volunteers, killed ~, and
badly wounded the captain and men,
This is serious loss, and Padre Jarau:a
will pay dear for it yet.
Some OF our volunteer troops set fire to
the dwelling house of Santa Anna. at his
hacienda, near Cerro Gordo, and it, with
all It's valuable contents, was consumed. -
This is all wrong. lfthey hadburned down
the village in which the guerrilleros found
refuge, it would have been all perfectly
right. If the buildings of Santa Anna gave
shelter to the guerrllleros, it was right to
destroy them, but not because Santa Anna
was leGding the forces of the enemy against
us. fawalt further explanation from the
officer causing it to be burned.
Col. Miles is pursuing the even tenor of
his way, and gives general satisfaction -
Gen. Patterson and staff are here. Tht
brave old general will remain here long
enough to organize force land transporta-
ton for it, large enough to enable him to
override all impediments which mag be
thrown irs his read to puebfa, where he Wilt

NATIONAL PAIGE, Mexico Sept. 81.
The citizens tell us that the city has not
been as tranquil for two years as it is at the
present time. 'Fhis has bee,s brought about
by well regulated disposition of the troops
by Gen. Scott, together with the other regu-
lation ofthe city Yesterday, being Sun
day, the clergy keptthe churches and places
of religious worship closed, which bad a
tendency to excite the minds Of the popu-
lace, and impress them with the belief that
something serious was going on unseen.
Gen. Scott sent to'the clergy, and desired
them to open their churches for religious
worship, bur they fIeeiled him not. He
then informed them, in substance, that their
course was calculated to ini1ame the preiu-
dces of the people and excite them TO dsor-
der, and if they thus continued their course
of conduct he should forthwith Withdraw
all protection from their properly, let the
consequences be what they might. This
had the effect Of bringing these gentlemen
to MISREPRESENTATION buildings were opened
at once, and their religious ceremonies con-
tinued.
Sept. 22-Gen. Scott, with Mr.. First
and his Staff, have removed from the pal
ace to more retired and quiet part of the
the city, where he is, no doubt, free from
the incessant annoyances to which he was
subjec; in the palace, and it is only now,
by strict guard at the door, that the popu-
lace are prevented from harrassing him du
ring the whole day.
Gen. Scott being removed, Gen. Quit
man occupies the palace, and it has been
placed under the guperigendence Of Capt.
Naylor.

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

Oh, II there is one law above the rest
Written IN Wisdom-if there is a word
That | would trace as with rem of fle
Upon the unsull:ed temper of a child
Ii there is any thing that keeps the mind
Open TO angel visits, and repes
The ministry of ill-tis human loue!
God has made nothing worthy OF contempt;
The smallest pebble in the we'll of truth
Has It's peculiar meanings. and will stand
When mans best monuments wear fast away.
The law OF Heaven is iove, and though its name
has been usurped by passion, and proianed
10 ITS unholy uses through all tine,
Still, the eternal principle is pure;
And in these deep affections that we feel
Omnpotent within US, can we see
lhe lavish measure in which love is given.
And IN the yearning tenderness of child,
For every bird that sings above its head,
And every creature feeding on the hills,
And every tree and flow or and running brook,
We see how every thing was made TO love,
And how they err, who in a world like this,
Find any thing 10 hate but human pride

The explosion followed the utterance of
