The following arc the Congressional Districts of this State, as they stand un der the famous Ray nermander of 1 846 'AT. DR. SHERWOOD'S Vibrating Magnetic Machines. By recent improvements in these Machines, their power is doubled in cases ot the same size, and the prices reduced to $12 and $14 each; the l$Vz sizes be iag greatly superior to the. $12 sizes ; of ether machines. They now run with more power and smoothness, and are better adapted for magnetizing patients than any other in use. Each case is accompanied with a Manuel (11th edition, p. 400, 32 mo.) in the English or French language, according to order, which contains clear and minute directions for the proper use of the instrument in the various diseases to which it is applicable, which are found to include many of the most peculiar and obstinate that are known to the medical profession. The Manuel also con tains a synopsis of the different systems of medi cal practice, Allopathic, Homcepathic, and Mag nopathic, with a full glossary. Physicians and others are cautioned against purchasing the imitations of these machines, as they will be found of comparatively little value. No premium has ever been obtained over these magnetic machines at the American or any other Institute, as is represented by the .nanufacturera of interior machines. raj- As I have become the Agent for the sale of the above Machines from a conviction of their usefulness in disease, and not from any desire to speculate on them; and am responsible to tte owner for them, they can only be obtained br the navment of th cash on the delivery of the Machine. I have deposited them with Mr Bayne at the Carolinian Office, who will show them, or deliver them on the avmcnt of the cash price, and ou no other terms. rnjl'Il'l! MOVTl(!t!r. 4SC-tf. A. M.

These remarkable medical remedies of the late eminent and well known Dr. Sherwood of New Yoik, consisting of a preparation of magnetized CHLORIDE OF GOLD, compounded with van ous other materials with great care and by a la borious process, and of a BITUMINOUS PLAS TER, have been tested by an extensive practice of twentv-nve vears' continuance, and may now justly be considered as more successful than any other known remedy in the treatment of CON SUMPTION in all its early stages, and of all Tuberculous or Scrofulous Diseases. For this class of complaints they are now extensively adonted bv Dhvsicians in their own practice in various parts of thecountrv. They are prepaid bv us under the direction of the Executrix of the estate of the late Dr. Sherwood, to whom, by his will, his medical recipes are intrusted in the sam manner in all respects as heretofore, and are alwavs accompanied bv Dr. Sherwood's val i ,!,!. mWlienl treatise upon the treatment of rhrnnic Diseases, a work which was the result oi" manv vears of labor and research, and which shows in'the clearest manner the principles up on which the operation of his remedies is found ed and their mode of cure.

The ministry, however, is said to be divided on the subject. It is said that the French government has sent diplomatic notes to London, St. Petersburg, Berlin, and Vienna, deploring the interference of Russia in German affairs, and that they will attempt to stop it by diplomatic means ; and if that fails, will apply to the Assembly for advice.

The following, from the Browns ville Flag of the l6lh inst., tells the melan choly tale: On Thursday last our town was thrown into great excitement by the arrival of an express from Palo Alto, announcing the startling intelligence that a numerous and formidable band of Indians had just made a descent upon that place, and had already committed many acts of startling and sav age barbarity. The stage from l'oiut Isa bel had been intercepted; and the proprie tor, Mr Bangs, and Mr Lombardo, a pas senger, were taken prisoners. s. tram oi transport wagons had also been captured between Brownsville and Point Isabel,, containing much valuable merchandize. "Such of our citizens as were able to. procure horses speedly repaired thither, but their numbers were too small to do w,ro than defend the settlement oi .iaj Tavlor; pursuit was impracticable. r....n.ln At Fort Brown, t. likewise despatched in wagons some thirty . a "j1 infantrv alt hi deposable force, leaving cold puts only a suard at the fort but their progress was too tardy to avail anything against a foe as wily and well mounted. there were no mounted men in the garrison Before the arrival of this force the foe had retired; not. however, until they had per petrated acts of savage barbarity, the men tion whereof causes our blood to curdle. "But partial accounts have reached us of the acts of the savage marauders Doroteo Zamora, a most estimable citizen, we regret to learn, is among the slain. Mr Zamora had just decided, under the 1 ir f Tmo-i's sons was killed at the V'UV. Vfc A.' . ... - The Oi.df.st Man ik America Geo. Buckhart, living in Harlan county, Ky. is one of the most extraordinary men of the age, and perhaps is the oldest man now known to be living. He is one hundred and fourteen years old; was born in Ger mantown, Pennsylvania, and has lived for several years in a hollow sycamore tree, of such larj;c dimensions as to contain hi, family, consisting of a wife ami five or si x children, bed and bedding, coukiug uten sils, &c. The exploring agent of the American Bible Society in his travels ii Kentucky, recently found ' him, and aliio saw several respectable gentlemen who had spent one or more nights with him in this it va zr . singular home. He professes to hold the Lutheran faith, being of a German family. I and received the Bible with peculiar man i ifestations of gratitude. What a life for j one man to spend! What a long train of i events has market! this century through which he has drawn the thread of existence. DV le Society Record, for May.
