General Scott,

The Fredericksburg CVa.) Ne,cs, Wing paper,
that has observed the recklcssness of the Wings
of the North in their free soil committals, says:
Gen Scott is bruited by Northern President
makers as THE candidate for the Wings. In
Pennsylvania he has been formally nominated
we believe. In New Jersey and New York he
is confidently spoken of. And all over the
country he is regarded by many as the well as
certained candidate. We should not think Scott
"can como it." He is a military Chieftain, and
the people are tired Of Military Chieftans. Va
haze enough Of them for tie nert half century.
But this is not the only objection to Gen Scott.
He has committed absurdities which have DISCUS
ted the people. His hasty plate of soup connec-
ted with other incidents in his ridiculous Mar
cy correspondence prove him unfi for elevated
civil station. He is without an equal in his
military achievements. His Mexican campaigns
rank him as incomparably the ablest Captain Of
the age. But beyond this he is utterly without
qualification.
There aro other objections to Gen. Scott Ht
occupies doubtful position on the slavery
question. The free-soil party of Pennsylvania
are ''too anxious for the nomination. Ohio
and Massachusetts, are ''going it too strong" fol
our fancy. 'IZTmeo Danaos'' Anything desi
red by certain parties in those States we do no
desire. Whatever would render Scott or any
other candidate for the Presidency acceptabl,
to them would make him hateful to us W,
never desire again to vote with Ohio or Massa
chusctts. The fact therefore that he could com
mand the vote of those two States would almost
be sufficient of itself to ALLEVIATE our support.
The claims of the Democratic candidates it il
not our province to review, For some of thes,
gentleman we entertain the kindest feelings
Messrs. buchanan and Dickinson are entitled t.
the gratitude of the South. By our institution!
they stood in times af danger-for which we re
spect them. They have been our friends in thu
midst of that conflict which threatened to de
stroy all that was sacred and valuable to tn,
Southern stakeholder. We cannot forget it
Whatever excitements may hereafter arise, how
ever politically Objectionable they may be to u!
in other respects, we shall remember with
thankfulness their disinterested and patriot,
bearing under circumstances which offered tn,
strongest inducements to desert and destroy us
We may never vote for them-it is probable W
never shall-but respect them we ever will n
long as throb of gratitude shall animate on
bosom.

WONDER OF WONDERS!
PETROLEUM, OR ROCK OIL.

''There are more things IN heaUen and earth,
Ttan are dreamt Of in pltilosophy.n
The virtues of this remarkable remedy, and
the constant application for it, to the proprietor
has induced him to have it put up in bottles
with labels and directions for the benefit of the
public.
The Petroleum or Rock OIL is procured from
well in Allegheny county, at depth of four
hundred feet, is a pure unadulterated article,

tains properties capable of reaching number

There are many things in the arena of nature,
which, if known, might be of vast usefulness in
alleviating suffering and restoring the bloom of
health and vigor to many sufferer. Long be-
fore the proprietor thought of putting it up in
bottles, it had reputation for the cure of dis
case. The constantly and daily increasing calls
for it, and several remarkable cures it has per-
formed, is sure Indication Of its future popu-

The Forest Stream.
BY EMILY HERMANN.

Its pranks arc many and sadIy VIII,
NAY, say not only drcam,)
For sometimes it leaps like playful child,
And gayly it dances-and, oft beguiled
Ry its wayward wiles, l have wept and smiled
On the banks of this forest stream.
There the ducklings wild in the silver tide
Now dip meath the sunshine clear;
They're skimming the wave, they near my side,
Nor turn, nor fly, for their instinct guide
Hath whispered, eye need not fear"
The crow caws loud in the tree-top high,
With his glossy sable vest;
And s'crake'' sounds harshly, as, wheeling
nigh
Der the giant woods, with his herald cry,
The cranes coming down to rest:
To rest, and to seek in the glancing wave
meal for his awkward young;
And well as fisher the saucy knavc
Knows each curling eddy, where bright fins lave,
With the green willow leaves oerhung.
How chcckered and bright the warm summer
light
Through the thick forest woof comes down.
Here it quivers all day where the clear waters
play
Round the elm roots, all ragged and brown.
Right pleasant and safe was the gray squirrels
homo
In yon cleft of the sycamore tree,
Where many one of the merry wood-folk,
Well pleased with the tales of my dear gossip
brook,
Doth sit down and listen with me-

DIR. GUYSOTT'S IMPROVED EX-
TRACT OF YELLOW DOCK AND

SARSAPARILLA, put up IN the largest
sized bottles, contains more of the pure Honduras
Sarsaparilld than any other preparation extant,
which is chemicaliy combined with the Extract OF
Yellow Dock, the Extract of Wild Cherry, and
the Balsam of Fir, thus making the remedy more
Thoroughly efficient than any other SdrsopariAa
before the public. AT the same time it is per-
fectly free from all mineral poisons, which cannot
be said of any other of the Sarsaparilla COM
pounds. The invalid should Jepaye of poisons,
Mercury, Iron, Quinine, Potash, Iodine, Sui
phur, Arsenic, 40 lny other mineral and me-
tallic poisons enter into and form the active ba-
sis of most of the Sarsaparillas and Panaceas
of the day. Guysotfs Compound Extract Of El-
low Dock and SarsapariLa does not contain par
ticle of these substances; as any one can ascer-
tain by applying the necessary tests
These poisons may occasionally remove disea-
ses, but they so vitiate the blood and completely
impregnate the whole system with their baneful
effects, that the first cold or the first attack of
disease, prostrates the patients strength, and
subjects him her to the most excrutiating
torture, and renders another cure almost impos-
siblc and hopeless. Let all poisonous Sarsapa-
rilla preparations alone, and use Gaysot's I'm
proved Extract of Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla
which is thoroughly e6fcacious, perfectly harmless
and purely vegetable. All kind of diseases yield
to its genial influences.

And the javelins fell like rain.
Still pressed on through the battles din

The rider reeled at my blow;
Inc foeman came in his martial pride.
But my right arm laid him low

should slumber in Elias power.

The hero shall quaf the red wine:
The maids Of Valhalla shall wreathe NV brow

And REGNER, who lived as the brave should live
Shall die as the brave should die;
And enter the hall of the god of death
with smile, that his bliss is nigh.

The Dying Child.
BY LLEWELLYN.

In the easements cooling breeze
The happy mother sat at rest;
little child stood on her knees,
Gazing towards the glowing west
Her eye grew large, and very bright,
As the great sun went out of sight
And when she found her ''pretty STAR"
She cried with joy, eGood night, mammal
The solemn night had flung its shade
Around the cradle where she lay,
And when she saw the brightness fade,
Her little hands forgot thoir play
She felt her quiet hour was near,
And whispered, while there fell tear,
Watching the crimson clouds afar,
Good night, mamma-good night, mamma
She heard the sparrows sing at morn,
And climbed her chair to watch them we'll
The mist float off the fields of corn,
and the bee come out of the opening bell.
But on her cot she lies again.
And leaden cloud is on her brain:
The noon grows dark as evenings arc
Trustful, she cries, oGood night, mammal,
The angel Death stood by and smiled
His shadow rested on her eyes:
He'd come to lead the wandering child
Up the long pathway through the skies.
Her purple lips are moving still,
Though almost scaled in silence chill
And murmuring, as they stand ajar,
"dood night, mamma-good night, mammal

Read and Re1ect.-The afflicted would do
well to reflect before trusting their health, hap
piness, and in many cases their lives, in the
hands of physicians, ignorant of this class of
maladies. 1t is certainly impossible for one man
to understand all the ills the human family are
subject to. Every respectable physician has his
peculiar branch, in which he is more successful
than his brother professors, and to that he de-
votes most of his time and study

study and treatment of diseases of the sexual
organs, together with ulcers upon the body,
throat, nose or legs, pains in the head or bones,
mercurial rheumatism, structures, gravel, irreg-
ularitics, disease arising from youthful excesses
or impurities of the blood, whereby the consti-
tuition has become enfeebled, enables the Doctor
to offer Speedy Relief to all who may place
