The Board Of OlSlaoace. Tie
Board of Ordnance have been in ses-
sion here for the last few days, and
are devoting themselves with ener
gy and spirit 10 theirimportant duties.
We must repeat our qualification at
the judicious choice made by Cover
nor Means in constituting the Board,
and at the equally judicious selection
by the Board, of Col James III. Ira
pier, to fill the newly established post
of Ordnance officer. The informa-
ton before the Board as to The feast
bi!ity and expediency of procuring
military supplies at home has been of
the most encouraging character, and
our cnterprlsing artiIans Of every de-
partmcnt, have shown every dispo-
sltlon to carry out the wisdom of the
Board. Arrangement are now on
foot which will secure the establish
ment of permanent manufactury of
small arms in Columbia by compe-
tent and responsible persons.-Tel.

Cancer Cured "A worthy gentle
man OF our acquaintance, who had
been suffering seriously from what
was canceror something very like
one, has been cured entirely by the
following simple application. We |
give it, hoping thai il may relieve,
some other individual, similarly sill
uated.
Make a strong docoction ofled-
oak bark.-'ut i be boiled until il is
as stiff as ordinary adhesive plaster. |
Spread il OF patch of silk doth, and
apply it to the diseased part Let |
it remain until it comes off itself |
renew it, until the sore heals. Let nc
water come near it, during the |
treatmcnt.-EdgJIeM AciU.
WhO are your IriStocrats. .--Twen-
ty years ago this one butchered, that
one made candles; another sold cheese
and butter; fourth carried on distl-
lery; anotherwas a contractor on can
nails, others were merchants and me-
chanics, They are acquainted with
both ends of society-as their chill
dren will be after them, though 1t will |
not do TO say so out loud. For often
you shall find that those toiIing worms
hatch butterflies, and they live year. |
Death brings division of property;
and ii brings new fnanciers the old |
gent is discharged the young gentle
man takes his revenues, and begins TO !
tra7el-towards poverty, which he
reaches before death--or his children
do, if he do not. So that in fact tho
there is a sort of moneyed rank, it is
not hereditary; it is accessible TO all;
three good seasons of cotton will send |
a generation of men up; a score of
years will bring them all down, and
send their children again to labor.
The father grouds, and grows rich;
his children strut, and use their
money; tneir children inherit the |
pride, and go to shiltless poverty;
their children, remyigorated by fresh |
plebian blood, and by the smell ofthe
clod, come up again. Thus society,
like a tree, draws its sap from the
earth, changes itinto leaves and bios
SONS, spread them abroad in great |,
glory, shed them off to fai back TO the
earth, again to mingle with the soil !
and at length to reappearin new trees |,
and fresh garniture. tagV l
