Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1849-12-15
LitteH's Living Age.

The recent numbers of this work are more
than usually interesting and valuable. Issued
weekly, it contains the choicest selections from
the periodical literature of Great Britain and
America. The best articles from the standard
English Magazines are placed side by side with
such extracts from the newspaper press as afford
a clear view of the principal events of the age.
1t is not quite as ~reformatory in its tone as we
would like to have it-not so much so in fact as
it might be without being p%artizan but its Sc
lections are made with such good taste and
Judgment, and the whole scope and aim of the
work is so elevated, that we are never in the
mood to find fault with it. Scores of young
men who will read this notice might, by a little
sclf-denial, command the means of taking it,
and thereby secure q valuable auxiliary in the
work of sclf-culture. We shall take pleasure
in exhibiting specimen numbers, and even the
bound Volumes issued in former years, and in
forwarding the names of subscribers. The open
ing of the now year will be an excellent time to
commence taking it, For terms, &C., see Pros
pectus on the Fourth Page.

The Prospectus of this publication for 1850 is
now before us, and as our limits will not permit
us to publish it at length, we give this editorial
notice instead. The Cultivator is adapted espe-
ciaIly to the climate and soil of Ohio and the
adjoining States, and its contents will be found
practically useful to the farmers of this region.
1t is published twice a month, and always gives
the most recent intelligence of the state of the
crops, markets, sc. Its influence is acknowl-
edged to be salutary in awakening aspirit of in
dustry and improvement among farmers. The

CHEAP PosTAGE.-Thc abstract of the Post

the document on the subject of Cheap Postage
has disappointed us. lie barely suggests a re-
duction of letter postage to a uniform rate of 8
,s4aSEs 1t is possible, however, that the Presi-
dem, in his message, will speak out more clear
ly and earnestly in relation to this bcnoficcnt
reform. We hope Congress will be flooded
with petitions from all parts of the country,
praying for a still greater reduction than that
limited at by Mr.. Collamer. A uniform rate of
2, or at most 8 cents. ought to be adopted at
once. The people may obtain this if they will.

Slavery Unn,asked and Deprecated. BY HENRY
WIsNER SMITH, a Repentant Stakeholder.
We are much obliged to the friend who sent
us a copy of this pamphlet. 1t is wretchedly
printed, but worthy of a comely dress and of
universal circulation. The author tells us-up-
on the titlc-pagc, awkwardly enough-that he
was born and raised in Wyoming County, Pa,
twelve years nearly identified with the South,
personally and extensively acquainted with the
pcculiarities of Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkan-
sas, and Texas in religion not a bigot, though
sixteen years a member of the N. L. Church
that he was prosecuted by oppressors, trampled
down, but not COMPOUNDED, swallowed up but
not consumed that he vas proved in the 9th Ju-
dicial Dist. Court of La. to be dead and buried.
but still lives; that he was reported lost, but
was found, and has returned to the North obe-
dent to the cause of truth, an Emancipationist
in faith and purpose. The pamphlet is not, as
this announcement would lead the reader to
expect, in the form of a personal narrative, but
of a comprehensive picture or analysis of slave
ry, both in theory and practice. The writer,
however, speaks from experience, and makes
free use of such facts and incidents as came un-
der his notice while residing at the South. On
every point save that of the connection of Sla-
very with the U. S. Constitution, he appears to
be well informed and to reason correctly while
the moral tone of the essay is high and the Ian
guage strong and sometimes eloquent. We
may perhaps at some future time give extracts.

PRoGkEss OF THE Fox AND WISCONSIN
RIVER IMpRovEMENTs.-The contractor al
the Fortace has commenced operations with
large force, anu intends, we understand
to have the canal completed this fall. AT
Depare, the work was commenced on tic
east side of the river, on Monday last, and
will probably be finished for early naviga-
ton next season. The dam is to be raised
some two feet. At the Rapide de Croche
large preparations have been made for put
ting in the dam, &C., but the illness of the
contractor has caused delay. The work
however, will not be allowed to linger.
With the additional means now secured
by the selections just made by the Execu-
tive, the whole work can be put under con-
tract Immediately, and we look for com
pletion Of the route from Green Bay to the
Mississippi by the close ofthe ensuing year
Preparations are rapidly making to supply
the line with boats, among which we notice
several new steamboats, on the Wisconsin
besides several on the stocks. A steamboa,
and several schooners nre plying on Lake
Winnebago, and another steamboat is to be
built soon. On the end of the route, the
navigation will as yet admit of nothing
larger than Durham boats--of which some
fine ones have been put on the river this
spring by G. R. Taylor.--Green Bay .4d.

Observation-Disclosures PREcAur1oN.--
The Epidemic, which Is still making such
fright(ul ravages in St. Louis, has shown
itself to some extent in our usually heal
thy city. We have had, up to this time,
saturday evening, the 7th,) but eleven
deaths-5 of which cases were from boats,
and died soon after they landed here, g.
six were citizens, in the lower part of
the town.
There have been no cases reported
since Wednesday last, and only one on
that day.
We are 6 lad to announce, that no un-
due alarm is manifested on the part Of
the citizens, and that a strong confidence
exists that we shall not be visited with
the disease in its most malignant form.
The City is now in good condition,
very commendable care having been ex-
ercised by the citizens, as we'll as by the
authorities, in cleaning up; and even if
we should not have another case among
US, we hope to see these precautionary
measures continued during the preva-
lence Of the Epidemic below.
The City Council, on Thursday last,
made an appropriation for 200 barrels of
Lime, in addition to what has already
bven used, and the County Commission
ers, as we understand, have appropriated
for 100, to be used by the City.
The following persons have been ap-
pointed as Sanatory Committee to ad-
wise with the Marshall in the proper dis
tri5ution Of the Lime, and in other meas
ures for the prevention Of disease.
