The most superficial observer is aware that one
great cause of disorder is Costiaeness, and that by
the timely taking of purgatire the system is re.
stored TO its accustomed energy. By such course
the lives Of hundreds are saved, who would other
wise have fallen victims to disease These Pills
speedily remove all irritating matter from the
bowels, and excite the bilious functions 10 a
healthy action. The press is teaming with the re.
commentator of Ieargatire Pills gotten up by men
who know nothing ofthe effects Of Medicines on

American Art Union

We are indebted to f. M. TAYLOR Esq, Hon
orary Secretary of the american .4t Union, for
copy of the splendid prin, last issued by the Ins,i
tuition, Queen Mary signing she death ,Ua,rant of
Lady Jme Gregg and, also, elegant copy of
WAsHINGroN lRvING's story of RIP Van WinkIe,
with outline illustrations by barley.
The "Amercan Art Unon'' was incorporated
by the Legislature of New York, for the promotion
Of the Fine Arts in the United States and has thus
far proved most efficient organization for the at
tainment of this end. The lack of a sufficient pa
tronage has hitherto been the great barrier to the
advancement of American talent. The aspirations
of genius have been checked because there was not
proportiOnate demand for lis creations, and many
an American RAPHAEL has descended to the tomb
without reputation, simply for the want of some in
centive to the development of his talent This diff
fculty has been to great extent removed by the
establishment of the cart Union" The capital
produced by association is expended in the pur-
chase of works of Art by American Artists, which
placed in the gallery of the institution, exposed
to the admiring gaze Of the public. What encour-
agement is thus extended to the humbest aspirant!
We notice the names Of some of cur citizens a
mong the members of this valuable institution and
most cheerfully recommend the increase of the num-
Der. The payment of five dollars constitutes mem
bership, which is more than returned in the mag
nifcent print which each member receives.

PRINTERS AND PRINTING.-J. u. Buckingham,

Portance of the printer 10 the author as follows:
"Many who condesceud TO illuminate the dark
world with the fire of their genius through the col

G5- We notice that Mr.. DOUGLASS, through the

statement Off, the correspondent of NJ Y Courier
and Enquirer, in reference to the charge of corrup-
ton brought against Mr.. EWING, and acduits Mr.
BURKE oforiginatng the fabrication. The issue is
now fairly made up between the two, and we shall
await the evidence. If the ex-commssiouer, could
wheedle Mr. DOUGLASS, as stated by 81" in one
instance, he might be as easily wheedled in the
matter Of the letter. The National Tnteilgencer

cunningly devised fable to backen the character Of
an honorable man. The Intelligencer charges the
editors Of the Union with full as much turpitude in
the premises, as 81" traces TO Mr.. BURKE indi-
vdually. No matter with whom it originated we
still look upon the story the sauderous invention
of party, if not Of personal malice.

The PACIFIC RAiLRoAp.--The Railroad from
the Valley of the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean,
is likely to engage the attention and employ the en-
ergies Of the nation for many years to come The
late Conventions at st. Louis and Memphis have
afforded opportunities for conference to the friends
of the great enterprise. CAT the St. Louis Conven-
tion," says the Baltimore American, "Col. BENTON
with characteristic earnestness, advocated the con-
Of the road as aGovernment enterprise
The conclusion Of his speech exhibits fine speci-
men of that bold and glowing eloquenoe into which
he sometimes rises: :"
We live in extraordinary times, and are called
upon to elevate ourselves To the grandeur of the
'casion. Three and half centuries ago, the great
Columbus the man who was afterwards carried
home in chains from the New World which he had
discovered-this great Columbus, in the year 1892
departed from Europe to arrive in the East by 90
ing to the West. 1t was a'subme conception
lie was in the line Of success, when The inte!ven-
lion of two continents, not dreamed of before arrest
ed his progress. Now, in the nineteen,h century,
mechanical genius enables his great design TO be
fulfilled In the beginning, and in barbarous ages,
the sea was barrier to the intercourse Of nations
II separated nations. Mechanical genius, in invent
ing The ship, converted that barrier into facility
Then land and continents became the obstruction
A"o '"o hmeticdS intervening nave prevented Eu-
rope and Asia from communicating on the straight
line. For three centuries and a half this obstacle
has frustrated the grand design Of Columbus Now,
In our day, mechanical genius has again triumph
ed over the obstacles of nature, and converted
intoa facility that which had so long been an i'm
rassabe obstacle.
Let us complete the grand design of Columbus
OF putting Europe and Asia into communication, and
that to our advantage, through the heart &c our
own country. Let us give to his ships, converted
into cars, continued course, unknown TO all for
mer times. Let us make an iron road-aud make
1t from sea to sea. States and individuals making it
east of the Mississippi, the nation making it west.
Letus now, in this convention rise above everything
sectional, personal, local. Let us beseech the Ma
tlonal Legislature TO build the great road upon the
great national line which unites Europe and Asia
the line which will find, in our continent, the Bay
of San Francisco at one end, ST. Louis in the mid
die, the national metropolis, and great commercial
emporiums at the other-and which shall be adorn-
ed with its browning honor, the colossal statue of
the great Columbus, whose, design it accompshes,
hewn from the granite mass ola peak of the Rocky
Mountains, overlooking the road--the mountain it
sell the pedestal, and the statue part of the noun
pointing with out-stetched arm to the western
horizon and saying to the flying passenger, there is
the East there is India.

Junction Valley Turnpike.

We have admired the zeal and ability exhibited
by the Lexington Gazette in advocating the cause
of the Junction Valley Turnpike but when, in the
same connexion. it charges our town and county
with want of Dibersy and public spirit, we must
say that it goes considerably farther than all the
facts of the case authorize. AS we said last week,
there is another work, in the completion of which,
this whole region Of country, including large por-
ton OF Rockbridge, is much more deeply interested
than in the construction of the Junction Turnpike
Without the Railroad the Turnpike will be of COM
parativey little benefit to the people of either coun-
ty When 1t is completed, however, the people Of
Hockbrdge will have the use Of it without contrib
uiing cent towards its constructions Augusta
County has already subscribed si1ty-one thousand
and eight hundred dollars for extending the road
West of Charlottesville, and intends to make the
whole road without calling upon Rockbridge for
dollar. Yet the Gazette launingy speaks of us as
'the brag county Of Augusta" and the '',yealtl,u
and public spirited to,cn Of Stanton" because we
have not forthwith raised the third part of the sum
necessary for making The road to Buchanan, which
is to benefit Rockbridge at least six times more than
Augusta. This is adding Insult to injury" Let
Rockbridge contribute her equitable portion TO the
Railroad, and she will then have some reason for
using such language towards u.s. Until then, we
charge The Gazette TO forbear such expressions, upon
pain of our serious dspleasure. That the amount
will ultimately be raised, we hope and believe.

TIE NICARAGUA DIsPUrE-It is repotted at
Washington, on what is thought sufficient author
lty, that Mr.. Rves had, whilst in London, an in
teryiew with Lord Palmerson, in regard to the
Nicaragua affair. which has resulted in good un-
derstanding between the United States and England,
upon the basis of the free navigation Of the San Ju-
an River, and the opening Of the whole conternpla
ted line Of communication, to all nations upon the
same terms Of trade and navigation. This, how
ever, does not affect, probably, the question Of SOW
ereignty, which is the main ground Of threatened
difficulty. The New York Courier doubts not in
spite Of the begerent articles Of the British Press,
that the dispute will be amicably settled--Great
Britain suendering the right ofway upon the above
terms.

l.. KOSSUTH.

The FOREIGN ORGAN.-lt seems that tile new
French Minister is not to come out for some weeks
and it may be months. Louis Napoleon has un-
bounded confidence in the ability and zeal of the
Washington ''Union," and is evidently disposed to
rely implicitly upon its efforts in support of French
Pretensions and in chastisng the American Gov
eminent for having dared 10 resent the insults and
and rebuke the annoyance fthe late French Min
lister. The French President evidently acting with
his usual sagacty, and we do not at all wonder that
other foreign powers are following his example in
this respect. The English Minister is delaying his
arrival. Russia is without Representative at
Washington. The lending monarchies of the Old
World, and especially the most absolute and des-
potic among them, clearly perceive the utility and
eXpediency ofE nrustng their interests TO the for
eign organ already established at the seat of Gov
eminent. The "Unon" advocates their several
claims with vigor and energy which their own &C
credited Minister would not venture TO display. 1t
denounces Gen. Taylor and his Cabinet, for main
tanning American rights and American honor against
their arrogance and nsoence, with spirit and in
language which they dare not use. They urder-
stand perfectly that the "Unon" will go further in
their behalf than any Minister whom they could
send; and they are, therefore, quite willing that
their missions should remain vacant SO long as the
Washington "Union" remains at the Capitol to adj
vocate their claims, fight their battles against its
own country, and do whatever fidelity TO them and
hatred to the American Government may seem to
eXact.-yNeU York Courier.
