Vertical Water Wheel.
There are several hundred of thse wheels in
in operation in different counties in North Ca
rolina. For proof of their great advantage over
tke common flutter wheel, or any other wheels
now in use for saw mills, we confidently refer to
those who have applied them to their mills. We
c.in recommend them particularly for their su
periority in cases of a low head of water, or back
water.
We still keep a supply of Wheels, suitable for
different heads of water, at Wilmington, New

The wheels may also be had of E. A. Brevard,

Vibrating Magnetic Machines.
By receat improvements in these Machines,
their power is doubled in cases ot the same size,
and the prices reduced to $12 and $14each; the
$12 sizes being 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, Homoepathic, 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 aianufacturers
of interior machines.
Jr? 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 ta speculate on them: and
am responsible to tl-e tvner for them, they can only be
obtained by the payment of th cash on the delivery of the
Machine. I have deposited them with Mr Bayne at tte
Carolinian Office, vrbo will show them, or deliver them on

Compound Chloride of Gold,
FOR SCROFULOUS DISEASES.
These remarkable medical remedies of the late
eminent and well known Dr. Sherwood of New

CHLORIDE OF GOLD, compounded with vari
ous other materials with great care and by a la
burious process, and of a BITUMINOUS PLAS
TER, have beer, tested by an extensive practice
of twenty-five years' 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
adopted by physicians in their own practice in
various parts of the country. They are prepared
by us under the direction of the Executrix of
the titae of the 1 ;te Dr. Sherwood, to whom, by
his will, his medical recipes are intrusted iu the
same manner in ;11 respects as heretofore, and
are alwavs accompanied bv Dr. Sherwood's val-
u :ble medical treatise upon the treatment of
Chronic Diseases, a work which was the result
of ma iv ve.irs of labor and research, and which
shows in the clearest manner the principles up-
o i which ths operation of his remedies is found
ed and their mode cf cure. This work will en
able any person to detect the nature and extent
of scrofulous or tuberculous disease in himself or
others, by pressure on the ganglions of the spinal
nerves, on the spaces between the vertebrae along
each side of the srinc.

CLEAR THE WRECK.
One foot of solid ground
Is worth a wilderness of scowling waves."
Dante.
"And friendship passed me like a ship at
sea." Fcstus. '
" Have axes by the masts, Mr Boltrope, and
seethe gun-carriages chocked; it looks dirty
to windward, and we shall have a night of it."
My fir at Cruise.
A storm at sea is a thing to be remember
ed for years after wards. By a storm we
dont mean a catspaw of wind, a brisk gale,
or a white squall j but we do mean a howl
ing, pealing.dashing, crashing, straining,
groaning, splitting, hair-pulling north
wester, which requires three days to dis
burden itself of its fury, and two days to
become reasonably quiet again. in such i
a storm navies go down, single ship art'
foundered or wrecked, masts are whipped '
out of a frigate iu a twinkling, and bul
warks are carried away like chips by J
the surge. Uur government is now en
countering such a storm. The tempest
of party is rising in its fury. Already the
wmu howls teariully through the hue j
poles, & tne waves break in vues of thun-
Uer upon the bows. And at this moment '
of doubt and peril, where is the c:iptainr J
At his post? Oh, no! He is distributing j
premiums to tne little children on bo.ird
now putting a sugar-plum into the mouth
of a chubby urchin, and now smoothing
the brow of some flaxen haired angel in
pantalets, bidding her prepare to become
one of the mothers of freedom, and solace
the weary hours of the rough sex.. Yet
louder blows the gale, and hoarser break
the waves, and all eyes are turned to the
face of 'the monarch of the peopled deck"
for aid and comfort but, alas! nothing
is seen there but a look of stolid indiffer
ence, and nothing is heard but "the loud
laugh that speaks the vacant mind."
But, thank Heaven, though the com
mander and his officers are incapable of
managing the good old ship of the people,
there are idlers on board who can and will
battle with ti e elements, and guide her in
safety through the terrors of the storm.
The pilot, though disrated, is still on board,
possessed of all his knowledge and fur
nished with most excellent charts, and
many a past officer who kept his watch in
a seaman like manner is ready, at the cry
of All hands -save ship,' to spring to his
post with alacrity ami watch out the dread
ful havoc of the night. The world around
us is at war, and our captain, who earned
his post by his deeds of valor on the field
of blood, has settled down to the quiet
bearing of a Quaker, and prates about the
silver wings of peace and the propriety of
keeping out of harm's way. Many of the
leaders of divisions are as quiet and as
careless as the commander; and in view
of the hour of danger, and perhaps of des
truction, the means they use forhe safety
of themselves are supremely ludicrous.
One of them may be seen with a life-preserver
around his middle, with the blow,
pipe behind, running around the deck,
begging somebody for Heaven's sake to
blow him up ; while another, with bladder
tied to each heel, calculate, to tread water
with the best of the world, without wetting
his feet. One wears his shirt collar so
stiff and tall under the ears, that he can
nut touch the billows with his feet ; while
another has lashed himself to the stream
anchor, so as to be certain of being found
when they come to look after him, in case
the ship gets overboard
Old Neptune, who has had great experi
ence in naval affairs, having crossed the
Uock-bridge several times, is going about
with an all-sufficient pod-auger,boring holes
iu the bottom of the ship to let out the
surplus water; while the small arm of
defence, the man-of-war, is having the
touch-holes of the cannon increased so as
to fumigate th crew with brimstone at
every discharge, and thus save the cost of
an extra pound of sulphur. There i a
fine prospect for a wreck of everything
ahead, and when the time does come, j
the noise and confusion" will be greater
than it was at Cleveland when General
Cass was there. By the way, a booby who !
writes tor the Cleveland paper declares
that we applied to this administration for a
justice ot the peace commission, and
could nt get it. That is one of the biggest
bouncers yet, and should have choked the
simpleton, even in this "heroic age " We
would as soon steal a sheep as to ask this
administration for any appointment; and
if we had received one, we sho'uld con
sider it good cause for our democratic
friends to read us out of the party and
write Ichabod" over our key -hole.
We don't desire to belong to the band of
honest men who have sold their democracy
for the smile of a military hero and a cold
shoulder. But the ship of State is in dan
ger. Folly imbecility anarchy and sel
fishness, are all at work j and while a dis
tinguished dancing-master is giving the
Second Washington a drawing-room polish
at Chambers as Talma, the celebrated
artist, tutored Napoleon the tricks and
habits of frontier life fcstick out a feet"
from our Magnus Apollo, and he forever
forgets himself, and gives the sailor' scrape
with hik foot, and brushes the top of his
head with his hand when he makes a bow.
Constant attention, and a rap over the
knuckles, duly given once a day, as in
the case of other children, may, h'owever.
bring him up to the standard of court
etiquette ; but, as Mrs Partington justly
remarks, you cannot make a kneading
trough out of a swill-pail, and the days of
maracles are over.
The great discrimination used in select
ing persons from among the people fur
appointments abroad is another evidence
that the ship is in danger. When the cook
ami the Jack of the Dust are promoted to
the quarter-deck, ami posts below are
filled by means of a lottery from the fore
castle when honesty and capacity are
sneeringly alluded to as words used during
the canvass, for the purpose of catching
gulls, ami fidelity is a by-word and a re
proach, well may the good man tremble,
and the good wife turn over and ask, in
hurried accents, What is the matter?'
It is currently reported that the great
Ohioan, the immortal Secretary of the
Interior, who knows how to give and how
to take away a contract for Mationery
see the case of Wheeler & Co. is about
to go to Russia after court polish and bear's
oil, a.ul fit himself to run for the presiden
cy in 1851. But it all won't do.
" You mjv wash him jnd brush him, and do what
you will,
The scent of the roses will cling to him still."
The Secretary of the Interior lias just
removed the following elerks from the
General Laud Office: Dr Frailey, Mr Fos
ter, Mr Cunningham, Mr Causin, Mr
Minnix, Mr Flood, Mr Frazier, Mr I. D.
Vedder, Mr Nestor, Mr Pennybacker, Mr
Parker, Mr Curran, Mr Gr'eenieaf. Mr
Whitacre, Dr Brown, Mr Slade, Mr Ash
ton, and Mr Hungerford.
This removal of some of the very best
clerks in Washington, without the slightest
cause in a manner contrary to law is on
a par with all the other official acts of the
Harrisonian Butcher. Mr Ewing turned out
two of the gentlemen above named before,
when he was in office. He, however, was
shortly afterwards ejected neck and heels
himself, and, with the blessing ot God and
reasonable luck, he will be served in a sim
ilar manner at the nest session of Con
gress, and the American people will say
amen.

aid Brazil by building the frigate Hudson,
in Brooklyn; we who could, by our Clays
and our Websters, awake the spirit of
chivalry for Greece, South America, and
Poland; we who could present colors to
the Polish legion on Boston Common, in
piesence of the U. S. troops from Fort
independence, brought some four miles to
assist at the ceremony; we who permit
foreign officers to do duty onboard cjr
ships of war, while we are at peace with
their enemies; we who suffered the troops

march into Texas, who suffered lately a
regiment to be raised in New Orleans for
Yucatan, who furnished food for the Suli

Russian rebel and the French traitor ;

World in fastening on the fetters of the
bondman and the slave in the ninteenth
century.
