their accommodation, and at a comnara
tively small rate of expense.
Plank roads can be made, as a general
rule, for about the year's interest of a well-
made railroad. About one hundred com
panies have already formed, or are about
being formed, to construct these roads in
various parts of the State of New York.
The time is coming when most of roads of
he State and Union, where there is any
considerable amount of travel, and timber j
reasonable, will be plauked.
Thus far every plank road made in this
State has fully equalled, if not exceeded,
the expectation of their projectors. The
fact that a pair of horses can with ease,
and with increased speed, carry double the
weight on a plank road that they can on the
best common roads, without any other con
sideration, settles their value. When
the roads are bad, as they usually are
spring and fall, four times the weight can
be taken on plank roads at such seasons
that can be taken on common roads. The
farmer can go to market at all times when
lie cannot work his farm on account, of
weather, or from other causes ; and when
other roads are impassable, he can trot otf
with his pair of horses and two tons'
weight, and return (living some 15 or 20
miles distant from market the same day j
while with bad roads, taking the same
weight, would require several days, besides
great wear and tear of horses and wagons
ami harness in fact, leaving actually lit
tle return after deducting expeuses. This
r r i i i.V ...
is no lancuui calculation ; it has been
fully proved. This improvement will
bring up the value of farms within
reach of markets, which have been greatly
depressed by the low price of land at . the
West. The convenience of getting the
produce of the farm to market will enable
tiie farmer of the East better to compete
with the farmer of the West. Although
the cost of land is so much less at the West,
the expense of distant transportation will
serve to confirm the value of farms near
the great markets j
Our new States, until they have more
money, should go to work constructing
plank roads ; they will for a long time an
swer the purpose of railroads, except on
doing nothnis for the want of a favorable
investment. Flank roads win can lorin
such means, and set it at work for the public
good, and at the same time give a fair
return in interest. D.

the great and central thoroughfares. Mich
igan should be wide awake on the subject.
A plank road is to be immediately built
between the city of Schenectady and the
village of Saratoga Springs passingthrough
the thriving village of Ballston Spa. If
the materials can be procured in season,
the calculation is, to have the road built
and ready in time for the pleasure travel
of the present year ; so that travellers
from all quarters of our laud can t arrv
home accounts of it. This road will pas's
through a country for the most part very
beautiful. It is contemplated to have spa
cious omnibuses, to run in connexion with
the Albany and Schenectady railroad and
the White Mall railroad ; so that passen
gers can pass over the road in two houis,
and to and from Albany in three hours, or
less. Arrangements will probably be
made to ticket passengers through from
New York, or from Saratoga, via Albany,
to New York ; so that no care need be
taken about luggage until it is deposited
at the hotels at the Springs, or on arrival
at New York. Those who travel with
ladies will find great relief in havin- the
care of luggage taken from them bysuch
an arrangement. In the dryest season
there is little or no dust to incommode the
traveller on plank roads.
The press cannot be too diligent in call
ing public attention to these roads. At
the South, where timber is cheap, and the
common roads execrable, they will be of
great value; indeed, in every part of our
Union, they can be constructed to great
advantage giving employment to the la
boring classes, increased value to real es
tate, and a good investment to stockhol
ders. It is an improvement beneficial to
all classes. Some fear has been expressed
that the timber of the country would be
exhausted by the rage for plank roads ; but
such will not be the case. These roads
will be constructed so as to lead to ihop
districts where the timber is now ready,
but of little or no value to any one, or the
land on which it grows, on account of the
expense of getting it to market.
These plank roads are about to open
sources of wealth to the Hurt ht i-

THE GOLD SEEKER'S GUIDE!
OR SECRET ART OF FINDING MINES OF
GOLD, SILVER, IRON, LEAD, COPPER,
COAL, and other MINERAL RICHES.
The first discovery of Gold in California was
made by Don Joae D'Alvear, an eminent Spanish
Geologist, Chemist and Natural Philosopher, by
means of a newly invented Magnetic instrument,
called
THE GOLDOMETER, OR GOLD SEEKER'S GUIDE.
Signor D'Alvear has just arrived at N. York,
from the Gold regions ot California, by waj' of
Panama, Chagre9, and New Orleans, bringing
with him a very large quantity of Gold ore, valu
ed at nearly one million of Dollars, which he
collected there, long before the existence ot the
Gold mines became known to the residents of
California generally.
HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY.
Signor D'Alvear went out to California nearly
two years aco, in consequence of certain informa
tion which he had received of the eeological char
acter of that country, with the firm belief that
vast mines of precious mtals would be revealed
there, upon careful investigation. He was en
couraged to this enterprise, also, by his confidence
in the powers of a certain Magnetic instrument
which he had invented, called the" Goldometer,"
by whose aid he expected to be directed at once
to the " Gold Placers," if any such existed. Nor
were his expectations disappointed. His scienti
fic calculations proved to be founded in truth and
profound wisdom, and his new instrument, the
' Goldometer," fulfilled his highest hopes. In
less than two months after reaching California,
he struck upon one of the richest gold mines in
that country, up cm an obscure branch of the
Sacramento river, in a gorge of hills extremely
rocky and difficult of access, and seldom visited
by the native Californians. Disguising his object
under the pretence of purely scientic research,
he obtained the aid of some fifteen or twenty
simple and faithful Indians and steadily pursued
nis tasK, collecting otten more than $3,000 worth
of gold in a single day, which he concealed in a
deep ravine, without exciting any suspicion what
ever, until after the discovery of geld at Capt.
Sutter's Mill, when the mountains were ransack
ed by gold seekers, and Signor D'Alvear's " gold
placer." the richest in all California, was beset
with gready adventures "it is now found that
the real mines or sources of the gold, lie in the
gorges of the mountains and not in the beds or
sands of the rivers. Previous to leaving Califor
nia, Signor D'Alvear sold his instrument, the
Goldometer, a very imperfect one, for $3,000.
The person who purchased it confidently expected
to make a handsome fortune, by simply finding
"gold placers"and selling out the right of digging
to the gold workers.
MANUFACTURE OF THE GOLDOMETER,
azxu I'UULICATION OF THE GUIDE.
Signor D' Alyear, in compliance with the request
of numerous scientific gentlemen, has commenced
the manufacture of his new magnetic Instrument
the GOLDOMETER,which he now offers for sale,
in the United States, at the remarkably low price
of THREE DOLLARS each, accompanied by full
instructions for use, and a variety of Philosophi
cal hints drawn from the ancient and modern
sciences, or the art of finding mines of Gold, Sil
ver, Platinum, Ouicksilver, Coal, Iron, Copper,
Lead, and other mineral riches, the whole being
given in a publication called the GOLD SEEK
ER'S GUIDE.
This new work, and the Goldometer, are both
now ready for sale.
The Goldometer is so simple an instrument,
that a child may learn to operate with it in five
minutes. It is not affected by climate, moisture,
or any other known cause, (except the natural
magnet,) and will retain its power of pointing
out mineral riches in the earth for any number
of years. By the aid of the Guide anv one mav
use the instrument at once with perfect succrss.
FARMERS AND LAND OWNERS.
Farmers and land owners throughout the U.
States, who have reason to suspect the existence
of any kind of mineral riches upon their lands,
should avail themselves of this ooportunity to
iesi inatuci, Dy me surest ot all kno'vn tests,
before the abundance of discoveries in all parts
of the country shall have lessened this source of
wealth in their estate.
ADVENTURERS TO CALIFORNIA.
Persons going to California cannot make a bet
ter investment than by purchasing one of these
instruments, which will not onlv be worth fifty
times its value there, to sell again, but will be
of inestimable worth to those who go in search
of gold, as has been proved by the most abun
dant experiment both in California and the U. S.
TESTIMONIALS.
Signor D'Alvear does not deem it necessary to
encumber this notice with a long list of testimo
nials, in proof of the value of the goldometer, and
gold seeker's guide. The brilliant results of his
labors in California, and the discoverv, this very
week, of fresh viensof Gold in Virgini'a, and beds
of Coal in Rhode Island, by its use, are alone suf
ficent to stamp it as the greatest discovery of the
age. Nothing but the extreme cheapness of the
instrument, and his desire to see it used for the
benefit of mankind induces him to dispose of it at
the low price for which he offers it. Resides
this, his own desire for wealth is nearly satisfied

' The undersigned, having this day witnessed the
practical operation of Signor Jose De Alvear's
newly invented magnetic instrument, the goldo
meter, feel entirely satisfied that it possesses the
extraordinary power of detecting Mineral ores
hidden beneath the surface of the earth, and
have no doubt that it will prove an invaluable

sia, Palpitation ot the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Neuralgia.
Nervous and other diseases, which arise from a weak and
debilitated condition of the system.
These PiUs are prepared only by Dr. G. K. Tyler, a re
gularly educated physician, who from many years" experi
ence, can confidently recommend them as the beet remedy
for Ague and Fever ever offered to the public ; having fre
quently tested their great curative power upon those who
had long suffered under this troublesome and dangerous
disease. .
These pills contain neither mercury, nor arsenic nor any
thing that can iujiiru the system but on the contrary,
may betaken where a medicine ot" this kind is needed, not
only with perfect safety, but with the moMt decided advan
tage. In the commencement of some cases of Chills and Pevers.
where the system is highly charged with bilious matter, it
will be necessary, (before commencing with the Ague Pills)
to evacuate the stomach and bowels freely. This may be
dene by taking a vomit or a dose or two of Dr. Gordon's
Vegetable Antibilious Family Pills, or some other purgative
medicine. But in cases of long standing, aad where the
system is much debilitated, severe vomiting or purging
gunerally does more harm than good, and should be used
only when absolutely necessary to remove some particular
symptom.
They do not sicken the stomach nor operate on the bow
els as a purgative.
They usually break up the fever in from twenty-four to
forty-eight hours, and sueh is their peculiar operation,
that the patient finds himself suddenly well without being
conscious that they have had any effect, other than to cure
him of the disease.
