The Voyage Of the Decatur.

Z Lieutenant Drake, of the United States ship
Decatur, gives an account of her recent voyage,
which shows that the long absence of the ship
was occasioned by being confined in Magellans
Straits for eighty three days:
"We were obliged to fight our way through
the Strait of Magellan inch by inch; nothing
but our Captain being little game cock took
Us through. He asked me one night what l
thought. / answered that English, French and
American ships Of war had tried and failed,
and for one would 60 through on half rations
rather than put back, and during the converse
ton he thought or tried to make me think that
we would fail. told him he would fail to
make me believe that we could not go through.
The Captain then said he was trying my game
--he had heard said | would never say die
After my watch was out, he wished to see me
in his cabin, where we had some further con-
versation. To sum up this short letter, we
were in the Straits eighty-three days, with but
ten days good weather, the rest nothing but
gales of wind, with torrents Of rain, hail and
snow. Take it full and by, think it was the
dustiest travelling have ever seem"

U- SICK Headache Remedy.--A remedy for

IL Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to the public, is attracting great attention. not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there are so great number of people who af-
dicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his 'srem-
edy," is physician in this city in high standing,
with large practice. He is a physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that hrs remedy for very common disease, which
has been SO long needed, has attractedthe attention
Of all sufferers from headache who have heard of it.
From our own knowledge of DIR. Eastman's char
acter and practice we have no doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor il receives, and that il will
prove TO be great benefit TO all who may give it
a trial--Lynn News, December %, 1853.

Sir: The Department tenders to you its con-
gratulations upon your safe return to the
United States, in command of the U. s. steam
frigate "Susquehanna," after a protracted and
highly successful cruise in the East India,
China and Japan seas. In doing so, it affords
me great pleasure to place in your possession a
copy of the very favorable report made to the
Department by Commodores Stewart and La
valctte, and Lieutenants Tucker and Gordon,
who have had critical examination into the
condition of the U. S. ship "Susquehanna,"
since her arrival at Philadelphia, from which
it appears that her efficiency and completeness
as q man of war, the efficient condition of her
battery, and the high state Of dicipline, and the
alacrity and expertness displayed by the men
in their management of the guns, reflect great
credit upon her Commander, the officers asso-
ciated with him, as well as the ships company
generally.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.

REPRESENTATION AND TAXATION
KNOw-NOTHIGNIsM

No man who is an American can forget that
the great principle, the commanding fact, that
these colonies were taxed, without being repre-
sented in the English Parliament was the
cause Of the Revolutionary war. Nor can any
man "ignorc' (for that is the word of the
Know-nothings) the fact that at the time of
the revolution, we were either foreigners, or the
immediate descendants Of foreigners.
Yet, at this time party has sprung up that
ignores" all our revolutionary antecedents and
attempts to introduce into our country the ex-
ploded doctrine, oftaxation, scithom representa-
ton. Now we know full well that free negroes
are taxed, without being represented. We also
know that fresh, untutored foreigners are taxed
without enjoying the right Of suffrage. But
this is political necessity, which we acknowl-
edge. Free negroes, belonging to different
and black race, never can become incorpor-
ated with us. They are not forced to fight our
battles nor, as an Offset do we invest them
with the right Of suffrage. AS to foreigners,
it is but right that we should require them TO
serve pupilage. We do so. But they belong,
like ourselves, to the Caucasion race--they
come here because they we're ground down by
oppressive despotisms and are attached TO re-
publican institutions. A reasonable and limited
restriction, or pupilage, is right aud proper.
But to say that they shall not vote at all, OF
