DOUBLING THE CAPE.-A jolly, good -natured fell

gives the following account of his experience in
doubling the said Cape. Those who contem-

well to give it perusal:
''It is impossible TO describe the scenery in the
vicinity of Cape Horn. IL is all il is Cracked up to

moil, that we had TO lash every thing on deck and
below, but sometimes we would be struck by a
'sockdolager,' which would knock our calculations
into fits. Chairs, chests, trunks and boxes would
fetch away pell. nell to the eeward, and when the
weasel righted they would tumble back again in the
most admirable confusion. We used TO lie in our
hunks and call off cotions for them to dance first

round, great grand right and left, promenade to

clinging to something, and sometimes we would be
struck unawares by heavy sea, and suddenly lind
ourselves crawling out Of the lee scuppers, rubbing
our shins! Thus handled about by the
perpetual turmoil Of the elements, until arrived

What the Canadians think OF Wistsr's
Balsam.

From the Montreal Transcript, July %, ls4s
We think il but due TO DR.. Wistar that we should
add our testimony 10 numerous others as 10 the
traordinnry merits Of his medicine in certain cures
particularly where the patient has complained Of
pain in the side, in cases Of asthmatical charac
ter.
We are personally acquainted with many per-
sons who have experienced immense relief from the
use of this medicine, when laborng under the dis
eases above mentioned; and MS in the changeable
climate Of Canada these diseases more than
usually common, any medicine calculated TO coun-
teract them must be Of value.
We arc aware that IL has large and still in
crcasing sale, and has been very generally and
benecially used since its introduction into Canada
three years ago, and the very fact Of ts having
stood the of three year, experience is proof Of
its value.
We are not i'm the habit Of recommending patent
medicines unless the benefits conferred by them
have come under our own obsorvation but in the
present instance recommend WISTAR'S
BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY medicine
worthy the confidence Of the public in diseases Of
tho chest and side, and in many cases in this city
severe coughs have yielded 10 its influence.
To be genuine IL must be signed J. BUTTS.

Although the tone of opinion in Washington is
evidently calmer, and the men who have been
frightened at the idea Of dissolution of the Union
have seen the unsubstantial nature of the phantom
which has been conjured up, still no progress Is
made by Congress, even in the question which
stands in the way Of all other business Nothing Is
discussed in either House but slavery and nothing
that is said in either House brings the question any
nearer 10 settlement The public business is de-
layod, and the great interests of the country are
suffering for the necessary and customary legisla-
ton Of Congress.
But, all this time, the great questions which Con-
gress cannot settle arc fast settling themselves.
Public sentiment lie concentrating stronger and
stronger in favor Of the admission Of California
with the constitution which the peoplehavo adopted.
Nor can this be long STAYED off The demand Is
lust, and il .commcnds itself 10 every reasonable
man. If there be no territorial organization over
the other provinces coded TO by Mexico, they
will, ultimately, and probably at no very distant
day. come before Congress with similar demand
and with a constitution little acceptable to the
slave interest as that Of California.
The idea Of disunion Is received with deep and
proper dctcstation II has weakened tho influence
of the men who have threatened IL, and destroyed
confidence in any plan which they might bring
forward. Every where, from every point OF the
country, comes one general sentiment Of deep and
unalterabe attachment 10 the union of the States
and men whose whole efforts, for long years, have
been directed 10 its overthrow, driven to dccla-
rations of regard for it, Providence Journal

PLANK RoADs.-The peculiar advantage TO the
community of plank roads is their continuing in
perfect order, and affording undiminshed facilities
for travel, at all seasons, while common roads
rendered impossible by the continued rains of
summer, the occasional thaws in mid winter, or
the ''breaking up in spring. They thus enable
the farmer TO carry his produce TO market at sea-
sons and in weather when he would otherwise be
imprisoned at home, and could not there work to
advantage. His farm will, therefore, be made
made more valuable TO him. and il has according
ly been found that the value and price Of lands con-
tguous TO those roads have been enhanced by their
operation TO such degree as TO excite the envy
and complaints Of those living off their line The
lessened sticton will also enable him TO carry his
former load TO a distant market if desired, or
TO carry TO his former market larger load, and
therefore at less cost per bushei, hundred weight,
or cord. He can therefore sell cheaper, and yet
gain more. The consumer of his produce, wood,
&c, gets a better supply of all articles, and at
lower prices. The shopkeepcrs carry on an active
trade with their country customers, at times when,
were il not for these roads, they would have no
thing to do. II is one Of those few business ar
rangcments by which all parties gain, and which,
therefore, in the words Of Clinton, actually "aug-
ment the public wealth"

remaining portion of the city westward from that
point. Its very correct and very faithfully exc
