Henry Clan and Nike WalSh.-When Mike
Walsh was an apprentice in New York, at the
photographic printing business, it Happened that
Henry Clay was in the city, and the honored
guest of the people. His reception room was
directly opposite where Mike worked, and the
crowd was seen by the workmen from the win
dow passing into TIE hotel, to shake hands with
the "great commoner" The workmen dared
Mike 10 60 over ard shake hands with Mr.. Clay,
dressed as he was, with paper cap on, his
sleeves rolled up, and face and arms bedaubed
with ink Mike would not be dared and slap
ping his hands npon the inkstone, made itqute
moist with the sticky liquid. He then moved
mechanically across the street, entered, was in-
trodnced and shock hands with Mr. Clay. He
gave a very cordial grasp SO much SO that the
hands partially stuck together; but on Mike
went with The crowd who followed him,
and looking over his shoulders, observed
Mr.. Clay gazing with mingled ex-
preston Of astonishment and payfuness at the
inky hand Mike had left him. Bat Henry Clay
was great even in little things, and taking the
affair in iocular way, he instantly determined
to pass the joke, and pass it literally. The
consequence was that the introdced, white kinds
and ali, carried away with them a portion of
the printers ink, until Mr.. Clay's hand was al
most cleared of the black "sot imneal lbl,e---',
s1a0a ser al The odd predcament Of himself and the
sharers. Mr.. Clay has often heard to speak of
it as one Of the amusing incidents of his life.

Having assumed the Oner0uS and responsible
duties of public journalists We feel The just de-
sire 70 increase the circulation Of our paper,
as it viii not only inerease our capabilities of
doing good but at the same time give us rea-
sonable remuneration for our labors. To ac-
complish this desirable end, we have determin-
ed to send out this Prospectus with a request
that all who feel an interest in the increased
circulation of our paper will send us the largest
number of subscribers they possibly can. Yet
we cannot make this request without rendering
appropriate Acknowledgements to several friends
whose exertions in procuring US subscribers have
not been uruoticed by us.
We deem it unnecessary to occupy a lengthy
exposition of the leading features Of the FREE
PREss. It's political complexion is uneompro-
misingly WHIG-bat we are truly glad that the
evil times of unrelenting political warfare has
for time at least ceased, ana those SO long and
so recently in antagonistic array. are drawing
together in friendship and in purpose, to mingle
united effort and united wisdom to advance the
interests and the true glory Of tie laad. We
look to the promotion of the interests ofAgrcul-
ture, of Manufactures and of Commerce, as
being by far more important TO the improve
ment of the country, than any political issue
upon which the American people are extensively
divided. These great interests shall have our
warmest support Our leading aim shall be to
arouse public sentiment to the importance of
industrial progress-of enriching our fields, of
beautifying our homes--of starting up the busy
hum of industry and enterprise.
AS to tie merits Of the FaEH Pass it is for
the epublic TO iulre-we can only claim that we
have earnestly endeavored to publish paper
worthy Of pablic patronage. 1t is filed with
readable matter--containing the latest Foreign
and Domestic News-full and impartial quota
tons Of the Pro1uce Markets Of London, Au-
gusta, Savannah, Macon, Charleston and Nash
vile, with occasional quotations from other I'M
portant po:uts---together with the prices and
number Of Hogs sold in Cincinnati each week
during Packing season---also the prices of Pork
at numerous other points, so as to give our Ira
ders a broad and correct basis of judgement in
regard to this important article of trade. In
a word, our paper is for the business men OF
East Tennessee.
We are anxious to increase our circulation,
and have determined to offer the FREE Press

Mrs. General Gaias-Mrs. Gains and her
beautiful daughter are now in the city, and are
stopping at the Mansion House. We learn that
dew and most important witness in behalfof
Mrs. Gains right to the immense property she
claims in New Orleans, has recently been dis
covered, whose testimony viii clear away eve
~ vestage of doubt that may heretofore have
hung about the case. This witness is no less
a person than Gen. Villimel, of South America,
gentleman Of distinction and most unblem-
lshed character, who was himself personally
eognizant Of the principal fact necessary for
Mrs, Gaines to prove. Learning that some DIFF
ilcuity existed onthis point, he voluntarily left
his home, came to the United States, and offer
ed his testimony to Mrs. Gains. This brave
and gallant gentleman is now in the city, and
VIII remain until the case of Mrs. Gaines again
comes up for hearing.-LN. Y. Day Book

Worthy Of ImHatjoa.-We have been in
formed by one Of the passengers of the steamer
John L. Avery that Capt. Robertson, in pass
ing North Bend tolled the bell of the boat in
respect TO the momory of the only President
VINO sleeps on the banks of the Ohio. 1t is
the custom to toll the bell Of every boat that
passes Mt. Svtrt,yrr, the t>vJU.fIStc, 4 L..
resting place Of Washington, and we conceive
that it would be but proper tribute of respect
for the boats on our Western rivers to observe
a custom that is calculated TO keep in vivid re-
membranee the name and virtucs Of William
Henry Harrison.
We hope the example of Capt Richard
Robertson will be followed by the Captains Of

Sir: The annexed extract from private

discovered remedy for the yellow fever relates
to a matter of so much interest to our southern
Cities that have deemed it proper to send ii to

timony of several very respectable persons now
in this city.
The ''verbenar to which the extract refers as
having produced such wonderful cures at Gin

South American fora as the "verbena Brazi-
liensis," and spoken of by Humboldt as she
'Iverbena Caraeasana." 1t is found in great
abundance in the neighborhood Of this city,
where the nights are usually quite cool; and it
seems therefore probable, that if it does not al

the cases were quite hopeless, and that the pa

until the bowels are emptied. The ..verbena"
is a wild shrub, to be found growing almost
everywhere, and particularly in low, moist
ground. All our doctors have adopted its use,
