BRANDRETHs PILLS, AND THE BoDY's

BRANDRETHS PILLS, AND THE BODY'S
WASTE.-To those candid men who honestly doubt
the truth of the Brandrethan System, would entreat
them to ponder well upon the following facts:
The food taken into the stomach is converted into
blood which vital stream flowing through all the ram
ficatons Of the system, only mparts strength and
connuates te but actually creates forms and builds up
each and every part OF the animal machine. II the
blood therefore is pure and healthy, the body which is
formed and supported by the blood cannot be diseased
But ifhere be any part OF the body any Affection such
as bile or ulcer even bruise, the blood circulating
through that part takes impure matters from the local
affection and carries it into the general system This
is the cause often sudden death persons of full hab
it, afflicted with biles and who use no medicine
the matter gets into the circulating system and chokes
up the fine blood vessels which supply the brain with
vitality and life ceases il berelt by lightning. Now
this can be remedied-he Brandreth Pills will if used
at these times take all impure matters from the cir
cuation and save the general health at the time
they are curing the local affections.
Oh how important it is to find that this subject
be we'll comprehended it would save many from tedi
GUS times of Sickness and often secure their services
to their friends when otherwise the tomb would have
its victim.

MEssRs EDITORS We want in our thriving city,
Correctional Work House. Those who have no.

ineficency OF municipal regulations for the punish
ment of vagrancy and various petty offences. We see
itreported almost daily that offenders consigned to
city jail for periods ranging from to six months
presume tina. the time is spent without moloyment
and with many old offenders, too lazy to work, it may
indeed be pleasant retreat. The cost OF maintaining
these Migrants falls heavily upon the city Moreover,
the influences to which they exposed being decided
ly vicious sends them out again upon the world, fitted
for nothing good certainly and ready the first oppor
tunty to repeat the offence, for which they have but just
been punished well organized House of Correction,
ork House. for the reception of males and females
would relieve payers of the cost Of tanning
Migrants and petty offenders; and by the application Of
moral and religious influences, go far towards reform
ing many OF these untortun ates l hope TO some
interest manifested upon this and kindred subjects call
ing loudly for reform, and trust some ADLER pen may
take it in hand and press the subject upon the attention
OF our citizens.

CITY AFFAIRS.


Steam betoeen Richmond and Philadelphia.
We understand that charter has been obtained from
the Legislature OF Pennsylvania and company or
ganised in the city OF Philadelphia for the purpose OF
introducing weekly line of steamers, to ply between
Philadelphia and this city The line is TO consist of
couple of fine steamers, with the Lopez propeller, OF
sufficient capacity to stow $500 barrels each be
peted in the most substantial manner, and fitted up
so to enable each to accommodate twenty five
first class passengers These steamers go through
from Philadelphia Richmond in forty eight hours in
GLIDING stoppages at Norfolk and City Point.
A company of merchants in the city of Philadelphia
have the enterprise in hand at the head of which stands
the of Levi Eldridge, Esq. The capital stock
quse to furnish and equip the steamers is only $4,000
$4,000 of which, we learn, have been already SUBJ
scrbed the steamers have been contracted for and
now the stocks, and will be ready to commence ope-
ratons by the LIST of September next or thereabous.
900 of the capital stock yet remain be taken,
which amount is proposed to raise in this city and the
interior towns which trade to the city.
When it is remembered that eleven schooners and the
Baltimore steamer required to do the business which
these two steam propelers will be prepared to perform
in expeditions and satisfactory manner, we
should imagine that not doubt could exist either to
the entire feasibility of the enterprise the value of
the stock. The mercantile community will perceive at
glance the immense superiority OF the steam line over
now engaged in the trade between this city and Phila-
delphia.
Messrs. Rankin g. Whitlock, on the Dock, are pre-
pared to furnish full particulars relative to the contem
plated steam line

sumo the Unions censure cannot fail to draw him
out. We have before adverted to coincidence
between the positions of the article and those OF
Mr.. Robert G. SCOTS recent letter. The resem-
blance is the more striking because both commit
the error of treating the 32d degree of latitude as
the proposed Northern boundary OF lexas. But
it is very possible that Mr.. Scott may have have
derived his misconception from the Enquirers ar
tcle.

LOCAL AND TRANSITORY.

We learn that the freshet is so great on
the Red River of the North, that the Iuhah-
stants have been compelled to abandon the
entire valley Of the river, and flee for safety
TO the highlands.
Homeopathic Beer The Boston Posi-
says:
THE way the Kennebec people make
homeopathic beer, is to catch Il sturgeon, at
the head of The river in the spring, tie o
hup TO his tail, and let him run again. by
the time the fish has reached the mouth OF
the river, the waters are sufficiently tiactur-
rd-and good small beer may be dipped up
in any part of the river.

Within the past fortnight this government
has ordered GOO troops from different depots

The Mississippi river has seldom if ever
been as high atths season Of the year, as
il now is. The Saint Peter is not high; and
the back water Of the Mississippi retards
its current as far up as the rapids. say CO

The heavy rains have made the roads
from Saint Paul to Sam. Anthony, in some
tlsces, almost impossible. The necessity
for asrailroad to the falls, is becoming ever;

stock would pay well, there is no doubt
the road being easy TO grade, cheap to con
etrurt, and connecting great and increas.

We, are constrained, reluctantly fore
ed TO believe, that Gen. Taylor, Prcsi-
dent of the United States, died on :he
evening Of the 9th of July, by sudden
attack Of chronic diarihca. which he
contracted in the Mexican campaign,
The sad news reached as last Monday

ing Geographic dispatches: : '

Taylor is lying very ILL., To-day, at IL

died last evening al 9 O'Clock.
Concurring at the time Of his nomina-
ton, in Mr. Wcbster's opinion that it
was q nomination not fit to be made, =
we have seen much in the character OF
General Taylor, since his election, to
shake our confidence in that opinion
In firmness, 10 consistency, IN fidelity to
pledges we think he has given the world
an example, by which even the great
expounder might profit. In adopting
virtually Mr. Cass' Nicholson letter, as
the only safe, constitutional ground for
Congress to occupy in relation to the
Territories, leaving to the inhabitants
thereof to admit or to exclude slavery,
planting himself firmly upon that rrinci-
pie, and adhering to it, regardless OF ali
threats Of dissolution, all countenance
to irritating provisos, and all the STUFF
about compromise, which really meant
nothing blu: submission to the slave IN
terests. he has shown himself superior
20 local prejudices, as a native of the
south, aud superior to party, by adher-
10 what was right, although part of the
democratic creed-a principle which too
many Democrats who ought at all haz-
ards to have adhered to, have basely
surrendered and united with influential
wings to oppose; principle, which II
the whole Wing party had sustained
him in vindicating, would now have
made California a State, and have end
ed forever the extension of slavery an
other inch towards the Pacific and quiz
eted the whole agitation Of the subject
Of Gen. TAYLOR, we have not room
now to write all we wish. He was not
man to originate measures; but he
was more valuable to the nation, now
for othe- qualities, II seems as if the
ballast Of the vessel Of State was now
cast overheard, or as If We had parted
anchor-such was the firmness, solidty
and weight of his character, and SO
strongly had he grappled into the very
bottom of the political elements which
are raging. Relying upon his well tri-
cd patriotism, the whole nation felt a
..o6da,co IN old zach which no threat
of disunion could shake. His death is
truly a national calamity.
