AND PINTERS DEPOT.
TT H. GREEN respectfully announces to
IL Publishers and Printers, that he has cs-
tablished a complete and extensive TYPE
FOUNDRY in this city.
The BOOK LETTER of this Foundry
was cut to order, by workmen of long expert
ence, and as no expense was spared to obtain
the handsomest faces, and to perfect them in
| every respect, the assertion is ventured that it
will be found the handsomest in the United
States.
Also, a very handsome assortment of Flow
ers, Combination Borders, and JOB LETTER
of the latest style, to which the attention OF
Printers is solicited, before purchasing else
where. All articles manufactured at this Foun-
derry shall be of a material equal if not superb
or to any manufactured at the North; and as
they will be furnished at New York prices, the
proprietor of this new enterprise trusts to
meet with due encouragement.
The subscriber is also agent for the sale OF
Napier, Washington and Smith PRESSES.
which, together with Chases, Cases, Compos
ing Sticks, Furniture, Galleys, Printing INK OF
all %colors, including every article in the Printing
business, kept constantly on hand at moderate
rates.
O. The proprietors of newspapers who will
publish this advertisement six months, and send
a paper to this Foundry weekly, will be paid
for the advertisement by purchasing six times
the amount of their advertising bill in Type.

RULE FOR CoNsRUcT1NA CHIMNEYs.-A very
erroneous practice prevails, among chimney
builders, Of contracting the passage for the
smoke at the lower part near the fire place
"This," says T~readgold, sis like contracting the
aperture Of a pipe which supplies a jet" CHM
neys, to draw well, should be contracted at the
top. The rule for ascertaining the required
degree Of contraction is as follows
Let l7ti4es the length of the CRATE, in in
ches, be divided by the square root of the height
of the chimney, in feet, and the ~quotient will be
the area in inches, of the transverse section of
the aperture at the top of the chimney. For
example, CRATE Is inches in length, with a
chimney SO feet high, to which the contracting
top is reqnired-l6 multiplied by Is gives
255, which number divided by 6, the square root
of SO, gives 424 inches for the area of the top.

CULTIVATION OF THE PLUM.-Years ago, it
was common to see exposed for sale in our
stores, bushels of the common blue plum. Now,
such a sight is comparatively rare. A brief
chapter on the cultivation of this fruit, at the
outset, may convince some that they yet can be
cultivated. have had experience, and 4 very
expensive one, too.
Plums want a favorable soil for perfecting
choice trees. A moist, rich, clayey loan has
thus far proved the best adapted to this fruit,
with me. I never cultivate the sprouts for
stocks, and never bud on them, but carefully
propagate choice varieties, which have. been fully
proved as such, on the strongest and the most
thrifty seedlings only. belive no other course
will ensure so perfect success. Let those who
purchase trees see that they get good ones, and
their success will be more certain.
If, in laying out grounds, the walks are left
wider than usual, and the centre is occupied
with plum trees, it would leave the amateur
every opportunity for the gathering of the pre-.
mature fruit. This Iconsider the true way OF
managing the plum, where a plot is not reserv.
ed exclusively forts cultivation. These garden
trees can be trained espalier, or fan-fashion, il
desired.

gin the publication in the City of Washington of a daily
Wing Administration paper, to be called THE REPCl-
Lie, the editorial supervision and management OF which

administration of Gen. Taylor came into power, 4 cordial
Jealous, and constant support. 1t will be a faithful rccor6 Of
the times; it will discuss public measures in an impartial
and independent spirit; it will be a vehicle OF the latest ami
most authentic iniorn,atIon; If Will be, III - word, a political
newspaper, devoted to the lIberaiizing and progressive doc
trincs which prevailed in the late presidential canvass to
the interests of labor, as developed in the wants of agricil-
rure, commerce onh manufactures, and to the cause OF lit
erature. science and general Intelligence.
The Republic will acknowledge no allegiance except to
the country. Ii will aim to merit the confidence and support
of the American people. 1t win be the organ Of no person
or party, or fraction of a party, in that compulsory sense
which would hinder it from speaking boldly and candidIy
to the people about whatever it concerns them to know.
The Republic will be printed on a double royal sheet, in
a new, large, clear, readable type.
Besides the daily paper, there will be published a Tri-
Weekly and Weekly Republic, made up Of the most inter-

sDONEC VOLUME OF THE

This journal is now in the second volume of its existence,
and with every indication of continued prosperIty-ln iact'

conclusive evidence of its success and stability put,

energy and industry have been ever present, not only IN Sh-
perintenJing its mechanical department, but IN upholdihg
and vindicating those principles which the Wings claim as
the true foundation of our Republican institutions.
The present rignrtfe ut the head of the Sentintt is shfi-
cient evidence of the confidence that is reposcd in the hero,
now at the head of this nation, who took upon himself the
responsibility ut the battle of Buena Vista! His career so
far has been marked by decision, equity, and goodness OF
heart, and with a determination on his part TO act as the Pre-
shIeut of this Republic, as the Constitution, circumstances
and requirements demand Of him, the better to secure the
advantage and permanencc OF those views ard principle.
as laid down in his Inaugural address. And having full
faith in the purity of his enlightened mind, what care the
friends OF ZACHARY TAYLOR for the hatred, SANDERS and
yituperntion. 50 Indignantly heaped upon him daily by the
opposition press throughout the country? unhisturbed as
the quiet lake by the mountain torrent that roaring leaps
into its peaceful bosom, Will be the Chief Magistrate of this
nation by the low, selfish and windy attacks OF those who
have arraycd themselves as his opponents.
The Sentinel, as it will be perceived, is clothed in an entire
new dress, and having the advantage of being published in
about the centre of the State, offers supe rior advantages to
city advertisers, as IA highly acceptable medium for bringing
their business (n either language) prominently before the
planters and other residents Of the interiors and the un
dersigned hopes that his New Orleans friends, as wellas
tlose at home, will continue TO extend him those fasors so
literally bestowed heretofore he will strive to descrse them
As a Family Paper, the Sentinel will challenge its SUPERB

the watchtower of our political rights, will ii be the guar
dian of that NORA tone aud sentiment which give character
dignity and safety to il community, creating respect from
abroad, happiness and prosperity at home.

DIR. Wright-Sometime since your asen, left me
a supply Of your Indian Vegetable piIls. I have
found said pills to be in great demand lately for the
cure Of Fever and .Ague. Mr.. james Boyd has a
nos who has been laid up with fever and agne, and
has tried various other remedies, all of which prov
ed of no avail. He determined to try your Indian
Vegetable Pills, and by using one box he is now
well. Mr.. Il. Spencer h'd a daughter. Dir. Hngl,
Groves a sou, and Mr.. G.. Nichols and three of his
family were all down at the same time with fever
and ague, and had also tried various other rene,
dies without effect. Your Indian Vegetable Pills
may be relied on for a permanent cure of fever and
ague. Yours, respectfully,

Fevers, like every other form of disease. are only
IN Effor, Of Nature to cxpeI from the body some-
thing that is opposed to health; 1t is merely a strns-
Gle between the good and bad humors for snprema-
cy. and the commotion which ensnes is called Fe-
vers. The usual symptoms of a fever are heavl-
ness, %langnor, anxiety. signing and yawning. with
alternate fits of heat and cold. After which the pa.
tient complains Of both pam in the head and back,
lIi,st, difficulty of breathing, pain in the limbs, a
sense of fulness about the region of the stomach,
nausea and sickness, with sometimes vomiting OF
bilious matter.
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills will be found
peculiarly adapted to the cnre of all kinds of fever,
because they not only thoroughly cleanse the sto>
mach and bowels from all billions humors, bnt they
open those excretory vessels which empty INTO The
bowels; and consequently the lmplrlty contained in
the circulation (Which is the canse OF all dIardered
motions of the blood called fevers) Is thrown into
the bowels, from whence ii is carried off by The re-
gnlar alvine discharges.
Inusing Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills for Fe-
vers, the only cure necessary is to have the medl
cine operate %copiously by the bowels. If ~thesymp,
toms are urgent, from four to eight pills should be
taken night aud morning until the fever has snbsi-
ded, after which smaller doses once in tweniy-lonr
hours, will be sufficient to restore health,
