of society violated, and the laws of Heaven
trampled on and outraged Oh how painful is
the contrast between the feelings which gener-
ate those foolish animOsities among the CON-
mon inhabitants ofa country, the entire area of
which would but form an inconsderabe section
of some Of the largest States Of this Union, and
that broad and comprehensive spirit of patriot
ism which makes every inhabitant of this NIGH
ty republication the Atlantic to the Pacific
from Maine to California-glory in the title of
an American citizen.
Friends and fellow countrymen-l now bid
you a reluctant, final farewell. A few hours
more will separate me from the hospitable
shores of America, forever. carry with me, to
Z" the poor old country" feelings of respect and
attachment for its people, that neither time nor
distance can obliterate. Citizens of the United
States--I fervently pray that the Almighty Dis
poser of human events, in whose hands are the
destinies of nations, May continue these bless
ings ard favors which you have so long enjoy
ed-that your progress in every public and pri-
vate virtue may keep pace with your unexam-
Piled prosperity--that you and your chidren's
Children may be ever true to the great destiny
tutions under the fostering care of which you
have so rapidly progressed. May your country
still extend the hand of succor to the helpless
exile, afford an asylum to the prosecuted, and a
home to the oppressed-and thus inseparably
connect her future destiny with the interests Of
universal humanity
Citizens of the United States, and beloved
countrymen--again adieu. May heaven pour
its choicest blessings on your favored land, is
the farewell prayer of
Your devoted and affectionate friend,

NEW CURE FOR CONsUMPTIoN.-The Mobile
Tribune directs attention TO IA new cure ofcon-
sumption described in the New Orleans Medi-
cal Register, by Professor Stone, on the virtues
of the phosphate of Lime in scrofua and 9TH
er depraved states of the SYSTEM" which is of
some moment. Ii was suggested by an essay
in the London Lancet, on the "physical pathol-
ogy of the oXaate and phosphate of lime, and
their relation to the formation of cells"
"The conclusions of the author (says Profess
sor Stone) are based upon careful chemical re-
search and the results from the use of the rem
edy. His researches show that in man, as we'll
rs in vegetables and inferior animals, phosphate
Of lime as well as albumen and fat is abund-
antly essential for the formation of cells, and
he considers that ny ofthe pathological states
of the system depended upon deficiency of
this salt The affections in which it is advised
are alterations dependant upon general dyscra-
sia, and not n mere local affection; infante at
rophy in those suffering from ricketts, and con-
sequent diarrh9a and tubercuous diseases par
ticuarly Of the lungs in early stages"
Struck by this article, Professor Stone tested
it, and he thus describes three cases i'm which
virtues were very obvious. The first was that
of slave, who was admitted to the Professors
Infrmary in July, with disease of the nose,
the whole system showing great progress in
scrofulous decay. The usual remedies were
unsuccessfully applied until August, when cod
liver oil was used. but the disorganization of
the stomach was increased by it. The phos-
phate of lime was then applied-eight grains,
three times day. Its good effects were soon
apparent. 1t and the oil were therefore admin
istered together, and the patient soon was re-
stored to health.
The second case is that of young lady, aged
"a. Her disease was one of unmxed phthis-
is, which might have been expected TO terminate
in the course Of few months" fatally. The
upper parts of both her lungs were beginning
to soften. The case was evidently bad one.
Ihe treatment or c0d-lver oil was at first used,
but without marked improvement The phos-
phate of lime was then administered with the
OIL and the result, as in the case of the negro,
was soon apparent. The patient was rapidly
getting well.
The third case was that of child, seven
years Of age, in which the phosphate of lime
was used with complete success.
Whatever can alleviate or prove curative to
this dreadful disease disease which claims
more victims than any other in our city, and in
the whole of the Eastern and Middle States,
has great claims upon public attention. Of
course we cannot do anything more than pre-
sent the above statements; we have no opinion
to give but this, that we remember having heard
twenty years ago, of the phosphate of lime, in
the form of egg shells, being prescribed sue
cessfuly i'll two cases of consumption.
