The Congress Of I77G.

We take from the June number ofthe
Knickerbocker, an interesting picture
of the old Congress of'76:
ain the Presidents chair sits Hancock,
crowned with the demeanor graceful and
splendid, like blazing Hyperion on his
rubed throne. e.'-Prominent in the heroic
band, and oldest of their number, is he
who at the same time snatched the light
nings from the skies and the sceptre from
the oppressor's hand. There too is MOI
ris, the fnancier of the revolution, whose
generous aid, advanced on his own cred
it, paved the way for victories at Trenton
and Princeton and in the gloomiest hour
caused the American eagle to soar aloft
toward heaven. More retired but not
less interested, is that old Puritan, Sam
uel Adams, his front engraven thought
and public care He was among the
very first to excite popular rebellion a
gainst wrong, and he is here to aid the
progress and pray for its consummation
Offew words but Astounding in great an(
beneficial deeds, he sits in council grave
and taciturn, like 'gray-haired Saturn qui
ct as a stone, his soul firm as granite an,
unbendug before the storm. His more
oratoriai namesake, John Adams, witt
watchful eye and ear as scanning thu
proceedings, while every look and mo
ton betrays his readiness to exemplif.
his favorite Maxim, 4 would rather b'
in the wrong with Plato than in the righ
with Epicurus. Lee, whose inimitabl
assiduity and elaborate grace, moves, il
chivalrous majesty of the scene, With
erspoon, the divine. 'visibly written bless
ed in his looks, is there with the meeknes
of a Minister of Jesus Christ, but with
frmness that never quailed in the pres
ence ofhis country's foe. In the alterna
tive between the sacrifice Of freedom, q
the loss of life, like the Spartan mothe
he would rather have seen his son brougl
home a corpse upon his shield, than di'
honored by its loss. And Rutledge, tn
youngest of the patriots, comes forwar
to illustrate in his own person the aucien
apologize of the youthful Hercules, in tn
pride and strength of beauty, surrender
ing his entire soul to the worship of exa
ted virtue. But it is needless any (urthe
to specify; all, as one man, are ready
exciaim, our mother is America, our ba
tie is for freedom, purity of purpose
our breast plate, and the favor of heave
10 our shield"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8

The Mexican Minister was formally
received and recognized by the Presi-

speech highly complimentary to the A.
mericans; he rejoiced that hoslillues were
ended between the two countries. and
hoped that the friendly relations now ex-
istiup should continue, concluding with
an assurance that his Government would
observe the treaty in good faith. The
President replied in short speech prof
fering continued friendship and respect
for Mexico, and rejoicing in the restora'

VIt is stated in the National lntelli'
gencer that an attempt is about TO be
made on an extensive scale TO grow tea
in this country. A few days ago there
was received in Washington an importa-
ton ofplants for this purpose. There
are about 500 plants, Of about one foot in
height. The originator of this enterprise
is Mr.. Junius Smith. Of Conn, (ofcourse, }
but long resident of London He de-
ST gns making the experiment somewhere
in Georgia or Alabama, satisfied that that
quality of soil is best adapted to the
growth of the plant. 1t is his opinion
that tea may be raised in this country for
six cents the pound.

TnE MISSING GIRL MARIETTA SMITH
The New York Tribune says police
of many hundreds in that city has been
indie fatgabe for weeks in endeavoring to
obtain some clue to the sudden, midday
disappearance Of this young lady, but in
vain-not even trace of her have they
discovered, not suggestion are they able
to offer to her unhappy parents, in aid
of her recovery.-lt adds:
In the multitude of inquiries made af.
ter Miss Smith, i: has been ascertained
that there are other families in the same
situation with her parents-utterIy unable
to account for the sudden abstraction OF
favorite child, and altogether at loss
what to do to find her. The writer Of
this article accompanied one of the AL
derman to police station or headqnar-
ters, while in search of Miss Smith; aud
for the first time in his life, saw the book
wherein is recorded the statistics ofhun
dreds ofhouses OF public prostitution and
criminal assignation, headquarters o.
thieves, receivers, &c. in the wards.

SPENT TAN-BARK MAY ne EMPLoYED
AS A MANURE.-This substance can easi-
ly be dried and converted into charcoal
in similar manner as recommended foi
charring peat. 1t may then be mixed
with night soil, answering both the Pur.
pose ofdrying and rendering it fit for car
riage, at the same time absorbing all the
ammonia, &c. 1t may also be mixed
with urine or with animal manure of any
kind for similar purposes. Tan'bark' in
an unchared state, is of no immediate
value as a manure in consequence of the
gallic and other acids it contains The
above extract from an unknown exchange
is something interesting to our farmers
and it is correct, too. UnburDed tan
bark we know to be injurious to vegeta'
ton, but when the acid is driven off by
heat, its nature is quite different. = Scicn

Brandreth's Pills.

FEYERS, AGUES; are really bilious
affections, and durable by purging with
BRANDRETH Pills and good nursing -
Read the directions 10 Dir. Brandreth's
pamphlet, which may he had gratis from
the Agent for Brandreth's Pills. No dis
ease can be received unless our blood i'd
in the requisite state of impurity; it is
some in all cases, the principle is unlver-
sal; for even W alter must be adapted to the
nature of the fish, or there will be no pro-
pog alton Of the species. The soil must be
adapted to the seed, or three will be no
increase. The climate must have those
matters in it which will unite and keep
alive epidenical or contagious poisons,
, or they will become extinguished, as a
lamps that is unsupplied by oil. So 1t it
likewise with the human frame, il cannos
be materially affected by epidem or
contagious maladies, unless there be those
matters floating in the circulation which
offer the appropriate soil. BY purifying
our bodies with the BRANDRETH PiLLs,
which have affinity with those impurities
upon which contagicn feeds, we may al
ways feel secure, whatever disease may
rage around Us. True, we may have it.
tut il will soon be over, our sickness will
be the affairs of a day or two, while those
who have been too wise to use this simple
and excellent remedy, either die or havs
weeks, perhaps months sickness.
Sudden changes from very hot to chilly
weather are unfavorable to health, aud it
is fact universally admitted, that heat
and moisture are powerful agents in rro.
duciDg disease, and that constant DRY and
constaut WET FEATHER are both fayorabie
to it's generation; it does not signify WHAT
we call it, it may be sgue, il may be yel-
low lever, it may be dysentery, 1t may be
bronchitis, it may be cholic, IL may be
onstipaton of the bowels, il may be in
fammatioD Of the stomach, it may be a
nervous Affections; but still it is diseaes,
and disease durable by the Brandreth
+ ills, because they remove all impurities
from The body, alIthat can in any manner
iced the future progress Of the malady, no
matter how called; thus these pills are
not only the most proper medicine, but
generally the only medicine that need or
Dnght TO be used. Al the present time it
is every mans duty who wishes to secure
his health to use them; it is the duty of
every one who knows anything of their
althrsstoring powers, 10 make it known
o his immediate circle. For there are
ome alarming signs, which tell of the ap-
roach OF disease. The sudden changes
# temp mperamsHt are more to be feared and
narded against than any contagious mails
dy.
N. b. There is no surety that you get
Pills unless you purchase on
