Thus we find the above medical agents
beautifully compounded in the great Lab
Oratory of nature, gurgling out at a crystal
fountain, and inviting dying sinners TO
come, drink and live.
The effects of this Incompatible water
upon the human system are truly won
derlul. 1t imparts energy to the weak and
languid, elasticity to the old and decrepid,
health to the sick and life to the dying. II
is eyes 10 the blind, cars to the deaf, and
Sarsaparilla to them ''as has got the rheu-
matis." 1t is heart-enlarging soul-eXpand-
ing and love-engcndcring when taken in
large doses. 1t is, moreover, bluc-eX-
tracing, horror-eradicating and stomach
soothing "to them as has got the Dyspep-
tics'-and further, it possesses quality
peculiar TO itself-its effects are the same
whether it be administered internally or
externally, horizontally or perpendicular
ly. True, its effects are more Immediately
visible when applied to the outer man
with a sponge, and the parts Immediately
champOOed with coarse towel. Since
it has been found that this water is slightly
intoxicating the writer would recommend
its external application in all, except des-
perate cases. If taken inwardly it should
be diluted with our common well water
previous to its being introduced into the
stomach. Visitors to our springs by oh
serving this precaution will avoid a rock
upon which manR have split, foundered
''and gone down.
Having springs Of so excellent quality
at our elbow, SO near in fact, that we can
wash our feet in them, is it not passing
strange that hundreds of the citizens OF
Ebensburg yearly visit Bedford, Saratoga
and the White Sulphur Springs of Virgil
MIA? These things ought not so to be-
Let us have large Hotel, bathing houses,
&c, at our own springs, and instead OF
each year sending our cripples and aristo-
crats-two classes, the most unfortunate
of all Gods creatures-together with our
money TO distant medical springs, we will
be raking a considerable amount of dust,
and each year will be visited by the crip>
pies, consumptives and aristocrats of the
adjoining counties.
Ebensburg has advantages over all 9TH
er watering places. 1t is the most eleva>
ted town in the Union. The scenery
around is of the most romantic and beau
tlGul kind. The air is always cool and
bracing. The sportsman can find IN the

Small Notes.


The following is a portion of the law
passed by the last session of Legisla-
turc, prohibiting the passing of small
notes of any foreign bank after the 2lst
inst. As constables, grand jurors, and all
other peace officers are bound by oath to
make information against all persons pass
ing these prohibited notes, we would adj
wise all our friends TO get clear Of them
before the term when the passing of them
subjects person to a heavy penalty.

bic in any action of debt, in the name of
the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as
well for the use Of the proper county, as

The sulphur spring alluded to above is
just outside the northern limits of our bor-
ough, on the property of Mr.. Johnston
Moore. 1t is said by those who know
that its medicinal qualities are of the very
best kind, and is so highly appreciated by
our citizens and others that a project has
been put on foot which we believe vii
result in the erection of the proper build
ings for the accommodation OF visitors.-
We feel confident that if the proper build
ings are erected, that ere many years, Eb-
ensburg viii claim as many visitors during
the summer season as Bedford, and we
assure our friends abroad that our citizens
are more social in their habits, our land
lords are more clever and accommodating,
the opportunities for hunting and fishing
are better, and the air we breathe is purer
than can be found in any other place in
Pennsylvania, and if they desire a relaxa-
ton from business for few weeks they
cannot do better than come 10 E6ensburg.

Mr.. EDroR:-My object in penning a
few disconnected thoughts to you is to
call the attention of our citizens to the
importance of putting up Hotel and 9th
er buildings at the Medical Springs in the
neighborhood of our borough. If any
argument were needed to convince scep-
ties of the necessity of erecting buildings
at and improving the grounds around the
Springs, that argument is seen and felt
every day in our over crowded hotels. Let
the proprietor of these springs put up the
Necessary buildings and improve the
grounds, 81 my word for ii he will be rich
ly rewarded for the expense and trouble.

Northern Wings. You may depend upon it,
there are breakers ahead, on this very question.
Mr.. Clay has started his compromise in the
Senate, on the Slavery question, and have not
the least doubt, but settlement of the question
will take place this session, in some form or 9TH
er. His resolutions will come up for debate on
Tuesday next, and you may look out for an ex-
citing time in Congress until the question is set
tied.
There is much diversity of opinion among the
Members on the propriety of disseminating diplo-
matte intercourse with the tyrant of Austria; but
yet, that will be no reason why Watson Webb
should be confirmed. One is an entire different
question from the other, and, while we may, as
nation, keep up our diplomacy with Austria
we WILL at the same time, decide that Mr. Webb
is not the man for the station.

EASTERN MAIL MATTER-The inconve-
nicncc, Of which we have long complained, of
having eastern mail for Dubuque, come by way
of Keokuk, is likely to be removed. We have
received letter from Senator Jones, enclosing
one from the Department, which says that teas
tern Offices are directed to post-bil all matte,
for Dubuque, Iowa, direct to that office, and tc
bag it to Chicago We hope we shall receive
no more papers or letters from Washington q

THE DELHI MAIL.-The contract for carry
ing this mail, as it stands at present. calls only
for "horscJack moil,'' once week, and by
the proposals for bids at the coming letting in
June next the same schedule is made out, with
the additional offer to receive bids for twice
week service.
If this is understood to be horseback mail,
for the ensuing four years, whether once or twice
week, it is certainly wrong The mail, as we
are informed, is already too heavy to be carried
on horseback, and the rapidity with which the
country is filling up, together with the extension
of the route, which has already been made, rem
der it imperative, that this mail should be car
ried at least in two horse vehicle. If such is
not the intention of the Department, it should
certainly be changed.

Editor of the Miners Express:
SIH-As misunderstanding seems to ex-
;st among some of our democratic friends in rela-
ton to aohat has been said by yourself & others
relative to the opinions of Hon. George W.
Jones upon the subject of the Wilmot Proviso,
l propose to set the aoholc matter right, and to
that end, ask ofyo the favor to insert this
in your next paper.
In the Express of the 9th inst, an article ap-
peared under the head of "Slavery in the District
of Columbia which and many other friends OF
Senator Jones, considered as disappearing
him. In a conversation with myself and others
you expressed your entire willingness to correct
the erroneous impressions that in our opinion,
your article was calculated to make. 1t appears
however that you altogether misunderstood my
Gen. Jones had declared to me that he would
'sresign his seat IN the Senate, rather than vote
for the Wilmot Proviso, but said that he was
opposed to the Wilmot Proviso, and that he
would risk his seat IN the Senaie, and his popu-
larity in the state, by voting against that meas
ure, did not design to leave the impression on
your mind that he had declared to me that he
would not obey instructions fairly given him upon
the subject; and of course there would be no occa-
sion for resignation unless instructions were
given and he saw constitutional difficulties in the
way Yours Respectfully.
