 DR H.

The violence of my cough was such that the blood rushed pro- fusely from my nos,rils when the parox vsmsof coughing came upon me; indeed, my whole systew seemed prcstrated, and the hour of my departure seemed near at hand. Atthis lime you recommended the use oc your Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, which immediately began to soothe com foit. .and ailay the violence of my cough. relieved the pain in my side, strengthened and healed my lungs, &c. continued the use of it; but now, thanks 10 God, and to the effect of your Compound Syrup oi Wild Cherry. I am cured, and able tU pursue my daily labor. think i. an invaluable medi- cine in coughs, colds, and diseases of the lungs, and one that should be known to all afflicted. If persons would purchase lhe original and genuine article as prepared by you, and not tamper with the many spuri- ous and worthless preparations which are attempted to be palmed off on the reputa- ton of yours, it might be the means of sa. wing many valuable lives. l freely offer this statement :or the benefit of those who are suferit g as was.

~" WISTAR'S BAL SAM OF
 WILD CHERRY."-The great success attending the use of fhis Balsam in Pull monary diseases having naturally attracted she attention of physicians, and others, va. Sious opinions and surmises have arisen with regard to it's component parts, some have supposed it to contain iodine, others mercury, &e., and to such substances they attribute its extraordinarv efficacy. Such opinions being entirely erroneous, and cal culated to prejudice many persons agalnst. we pledge ourselves that II contains nothing of the kind, or any ,hlpg the least injuTi- ous on the contrary, it is composed prin-
 cipally of simple substances. The Moss of Iceland, the Wild Cherry and Pine of our northern attitudes. are ihe principal in : gredlents in the compound. The great se- cset of its efficacy consists in the method by which they are prepared. Soch in fact is the nature and simp ;city of this medi- cine, % powerful in actioR. yet so mild, safe and pleasant in it's operation. that it might be iusuy termed, .' Nafure's ocn prScTtpffon," and although but two years hAve eiapeed since it was first made public. " can proudly say it has acquired ceie. brity unprecedented by any medicine in
 use, and is evidently destined to become the most popular and valuable medicine ever discovered. T See advertisement

U $. SENATOR FROM ARK RKANsAs-Maj. Solon Borland, of Hot Springs, formerly editcr of the Arkansas Banner, an able democratic journal, and one fthe Encar- nation prisoners, has been appointed by Gov. Dnew to fill the vacancy in the gen. atorial delegation from Arkansas ocea- sioned by the resignation of MT. Silver, ap- pointed Commissioner to Mexico. The Little Rock Democrat of the 3lst ult., Tn announcing the appointment, says:
 It is not often that gentlemen have ep- portuniies of obtaining office, and it is much more rare that they are feund to de. cline, when the prize is within reach. Not only the first, but the second, predic- ament, also, has been realized within the last twenty -four hours, in this city, in the person of Mai. Solon Borland. By We'd nesday nights mail, he received notifca- tion from Washington city of his appoint ment as Secretary of Legation to the Court of Spain. This he promply declin- ed. and the next morning received from the Governor of the Hon. A. H. Sevier, who has been appointed Commissioner to Mexico. This honor he accepted.
 The Legislature, which convenes in November next, will have to elect Sen- ator to fill the then remaining period ofCol. Sevier's unexpired term, and also to elect a Senator to serve for term of six years from the 4th of March, ls49. |
 The little Rock Gazette learns that letters have been received from MT. Se- vier, declaring his intention of being a candidate for reelection.

RESCUE TO THE AFFLICTED :! The Celebrated Jew David's or
 HEBREW PLASTER

4 Certain Remedy for FIXED Pains i'
 inc Side, Chest, LoiaS, Back, Bocefs,
 Muscles, Rheumatism in al its uariouS
 forms, Nervous A6ections, Lung and
 Liner Complaints, Spinal A6ections, Fe-
 male Weaknesses, S'c., 3'c.
 ENOR THE ABOVE COMPLAINTS IT this Plaster has no equal. The great celebrity which it has already acquired, mol only in the old but the new world. the ex- traordinary cures il has performed in the most extreme cases of suffering, have &C., quired for it such reputation, that the pro prietol has not, until recently, been able to supply half the demand. The sales through out every town and village in the United States, are without parallel! A circnm- stance not al all surprising when the vast amount of human suffering relieved by it's use is. considered. In spinal defecis the benefit usually IS of he most decided char acter. In nervous complaints, nineteen ca ses out of twenty readily yield to the pen etratng stimula combined in this valuable preparation.
 In Rheuudtisns, either acute or chronic, the claims of the Hebrew Plaster have long since been universally acknowledged Those who are laborlng under weak backs no matter from what cause the weakness. may have originated, (even if such person have been misguided in previous app!ica- tons) in the use of the Hebrew Plaster they will find the affected part suddenly restored to it's original soundaess.
 As a support in cases of constitutional 1reakaess, it will be found of great advan- lage il is particularly recommended to Fe males who are suffering from sudden weak ness or general debility. In short it embra. ces all the virtues which the most scientif, ic mind was capable of pounding from valuable substanc found in the old world and will be found entirely free from those objections which are source of complaint with the numerous spread plaster now be- fore the public.
 D These plasters possess the advan tage of being put up in air-lieht boxes, and hence they retain their full rirtnes in al climdteS.
 Price 50 cents box--cac hox' contain ing sufficient to spead six or eight pasters.

Later from Texas.

The steamship Galveston, Capt. Crane, arrived yesterday from Galveston, which port she left on the sth inst. The brig A. Hayford, from Boston, arrived on the 2d.
 The Galveston News of the 3d says: "'The prospect for crops was probably nev- CT more favorable at this season of the year than at present. We have accounts from planters in various parts of the most encouraging character. A planter from Bragoria informs us that the cane in that county, near the coast, is now three feet high. He considers this crop at least five weeks earlier this year than last :"
 It appears from statement in the News that 59s hhds. of sugar and 1l69 bbls. of molasses, of the Texas crop of 1647. were received at Galveston up to the 3d March. The ttkal receipts from Calcasien, La., were l33 hkds. sugar and aS7 bbls of molasses- The news says: 'sThe amount yet to be received. ofthe crop of lS47, is not expected to exceed much the quantity which we now report. The early frost in the fall occasiened the loss of more than half the whole crop"
 The Galveston Civilian ofthe Eth says; Mr Cockburn, who has arrived direct from Austin, confirms the report that reached this city two days since, that Capt. High smiths company of Rangers, in an expedi- ton from their encampmcnt near Freder- icburg to the San Saba, met with body of some twenty-five hostile Italians, on the Llano, and, in . fight which ensued, &isled twenty-two of the Indians who were on their way to attack the German settlers on she Medina. The Indians are believed to have been Wacoes and Wlchetaws. Big Water, a Waco chief was among the slain. ,e
