By recent improvements in these Machines, their power is doubled in cases of the same size, and the prices reduced to $12 and $14 each; 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, 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 jianufacturers of interior machines. Aug. IF, 1849. DR. H. II. SHERWOOD having deceased on the ISth of September last, his medical practice is continued by us in accordance with his testa mentary instructions under the direction of A. S. BALL, M. D. We also continue the publication of the valuable medical works of Dr. Sherwood, and the preparation of his well knowa Magnet ized Remedies of Compound Chloride of Gold for the cure of all Tuberculous or Scrofulous Dis eases. These remedies have now been many years in extensive use, and are a Specific for those Chronic Diseases of the organs and limbs which are invariably distinguished by pain pro duced by pressure on the interverbetral spaces along each side of the spinal column, no matter what name may be given to the malady by physi cians. We have in our possession, subject to the ex amination of any who may call upon us, numer ous letters from" patients in various parts of the country, and from many physicians who have long used these remedies'in their practice, which fully establish their remarkabls success in the cure of Scrofula in its worst forms, Consump tion, Chronic Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, and other chronic diseases. The Treatise of Dr Sherwood upon chronic Diseases, explains fully the nature and effects of these remelies, and vvill be sent by us without cnarge to any persons uesirous r ...i-. upon these points, in any part oi uie cuunuj. DR. SHERWOOD'S MAGNETIC MACHI NES, which havelong had an established repu tation as superior to any others in medical use, for power and simplicity combined, are also manufactured by us, as hitherto, and can be sent by express or otherwise to any place in the United States, or to other parts of the World. Physicians and Agents can be supplied both with'the machines and remedies upon the same terms as were customary with Dr. SHERWOOD.

The Hungarians continue successful, defeating and out manceuvremg the enemy at ail points, placing the Austrians in great peril, separating the Russians from their base of operations. Three grand divisions of the Hungarian army were in complete communication. Tlie whole nation assisting the Hungarians, bringing food and horses and intelligence of the enemies move ments. The London News of the 3d contains Vienna dates of the 2Sth of July. The news of Georgey's victory over the Russians at Coasseo, and his en try into Cauthaw, were announced at the same time. There were reports of negotiations being entered into for peace. Linewar is reported as having surrendered to the Maygars. The Ban Jellachich continues retreating to the southern frontier of Servia. Letters from Craeow, to the 23d June says,. numbers of Russian troops which were designing to leave that city, received counter orders. 70 railroad cars arrived at Cracow recently, filled with Russian soldiers. Liverpool dates of the 4th inst. announce an other great victory of the Hungarians atEsalaw over the Russians. The Austrian Gen. Haynau, is aej,rjjetj as jn a most critical condition. The Hungarian Generals are masieia.wr ...iii0 line from Essy to Assova, opening communica tions with Belgrade and the Turkish provinces. The great battle at Waitzen between the Russians under Paskiewitch, and Hungarians under Gor gey, in which the latter were said to be victori ous, is fully confirmed. Gorgey's army forced the Russian lines, and marched north, effecting a junction with the main army. The French President, after travelling South, has returned to Paris. The army of siege of 15th August "numbered 150,000. The prospects of an abundant harvest were good in the South, and throughout France. The French President is still accused of aspiring to the imperial crown. The French have restored the government of the Pope, but cannot persuade him to return back to the Vatican. The Magau Gazette states that a rumor vas current on the Neapolitan frontier that Garibaldi had embarked for America, in disguise. Charles Albert died at Lisbon on the 2Sth of July. There are reports that a conspiracy exists in Russia to establish a Republic, and several con spirators have been arrested. The Turkish Government has sent an army of 80,000 men to the Hungarian frontier, to prevent the passage of the Russians through Transylvania. EIGHTH DISTRICT. Hurrah for Lane, for doing as well as he did! Though not elected to Congress, he is still victori ous. In a whig district, made so by a special act of the Legislature, he has brought their majority down from about 750 to the little pitiful number of 47, and the whigs glorify tremendously that they were able to get off so well as that. The total vote is the largest one ever polled in the district, and evinces the efforts made by each party for its candidate. In the counties composing this district, Taylor received 4997, Cass 3966. .Vewbern Re publican. Davidson College.

" Bring out the cannon the country is safe." Smith. J " Mother, what is the difW elephant and the rynoscecross ?' " Why, ray dear, the elephant has a tail at each end, and the rhinoceros at one end." "Oh, what a fool I was I miirht hav Lnm,. ed it." Illustrated Zoology. Last night, when the people of the me tropolis were all doing something apiece but what we could not tell if we would, and we would not tell if we could a car rier pigeon of the night-hawk breed brought us the following interesting communica tion from the Travelling Hero. On our Tour, At Mrs Ken wig's Hotel, Lancaster county, Fa., Aug. 11, 1849 Dear Heroic Aae: Notwithstanding the chicken pox, the cholera, and the weather, we nut ourselves in charo-e nf Marshal IFallaeh. .Jttorneu Fendall. Courier Mudd. and Contractor Winter, and started for Baltimore in the evening train, amid reat rejoicings ; but whether the cheeringvas because of our presence, or our intended absence, we couldn't say. We took this suite with us because we were fearful that the people of Baltimore and up stream to Han isburg might doubt our identity, and we knew that this could not be the case if we had the legal authori ties of the city of Washington to endorse us, and Mudd and Winter to endorse them. This evidence is what is required to identi fy a soldier, and we presume that as it satisfied the Paymaster General, it would be suthcient tor the American people. We took a trunk for our small affairs, and a tin refrigerator to cool our person, to be used during the cruise. If, there fore, any black trunks marked Z. T." should be found on the route for the next three years, no matter whether they are claimed by others or not, they will be sent to us post-paid, directed to the care of the Department of the Interior, and no ques tions asked. Our friend Harry supplied us with to bacco during the trip, and Luck treated to old rye 5" so that between chewing and swallowing, we had a confounded wet time ofit Baltimore is a large place, and is a sea port. It has an academy, an almshouse, and a fort, and two hotels opposite the de pot, at 50 cents each, with splendid coftee when the kettle boils. It has a mayor, and : vrjf nretty place for a wholesale sxo cery. ihey do a goou ueui oi tuiumut this place, for we saw the dye-stuff runn ing down the' streets, and the principal scavengers, hogs, wallowing in it. Monuments are terrible thick in this place. We were measured for a new one, to be placed opposite to that of the First Washington. We are to look at sunrise, and the old gentleman is to look at sunset, and all creation are to look between us. All comparisons are barred as personal and lowlived Having gained our breath, and suffered two or three lean fellows who want offices, and who expect to "get them, to kiss our hands, and having made a pro-trumpery speech, we took the York train, and away we went fc lick-et-e-cut," for the Susque hanna and the adjacent country. It is a remarkable fact that the cars on the Susquehanna are built in the same way that they are on the Washington road. We found in the ladies' car a kind of cabin, with lockers and several loop-holes to look out upon the country as we passed along. Being too short to look out the usual side windows without a lift or two, we sta tioned ourselves by one of those loop-holes and watched the aspect of the country for a couple of hours. We were astonished, however, to see nothing but a ribbon or path of sand gravel the whole distance, and gravel the whole distance, and were about to cuss the historians who had described it to be the western Eden, when Mayor Stansbury, who is a real clever fellow not withstanding his loco fokery suggested to us that we had been looking down upon the track, and not at the country at large at all, and advised us to sit up and look sideways, which we at last did, raised upon the two pair of saddle-bags and a cushion Wlikcd this operation belter; it was more pleasant to our five senses one, two, three, four, five yes, five senses, and was more respectable tor the commander of two armies and tne iresiuent oi an ocean bound republic. It was now time to think of our reception at York, and we be gan to ruminate upon what we should say. At length were most fortunate in getting . .i i j . i our ideas loseiner snort, sweet, aim comprehensive An hour passed now dull enough, bvery woman and cnua in tne car coine into the saloon to look at us ; but when they saw us they bolted right out. What they did this for, cannot for the life of us divine; but presume they were abashed at the first appearance of our aw ful presence. And now the man who blows the rail road whistle, and who has a terrible cold. (judging from the sound, ) blew a blast that would wake the alligators from bmquckfa to VYhythalacooche. We started Stans bury started everybody started ; three puns, a squeal, and a drag, soon brought us up all standing; and lo! we were in Water street at York, and the chief bur gess of that ancient city stood before us. Two fifes, two drums, and a French horn then luxuriated in the melody of Jefferson and Liberty, and we were addressed as follows, as near as we could make it out, by the chief burgess of York i 'Welcome thou Second Washington, to the shades of ancient York. The son will set when you set, an. f rie when you rise;" and when you revolve upon your ax-is the country will be covered-with bran-new glory." To which we replied : "Most Excellent Chief Burgess : We were made by the Ideas of March like Minerva, full blown but have no time to enter into particu lars. We observe by the steaple that you' are a godly set, and by the furnace chimneys that you indulge in pig iron and other staples. May you live until the snake of disunion strangles liberty; and when yor die, may you be buried by some one of the Tlunnas, or IVanas, that crinkle crankle around you; and now hand us over that black bottle, and put en the steam." Whiz whiz. spit whir tiek-a-lick tick-a-lick ding-long squall! and we were at Columbia. Crossing that almighty mass ofwood-work,cal!edColumbia bridge, which is a pokerish place alter dark, we streaked it through the great lumber-yard street of that renowned place ; and in a short time cut round the corner of a bacon store, and entered Lancaster perhaps a little dry, and somewhat dusty. Here we were at home. Here our friend Thaddeus approached, with the anxious committee of that remarkable borough, which turned whig upon the antr-tnasonic question, and never turned back again; and, with a tear of pleasu re in his eye, welcomed us as the father and defender of the Wilmot Proviso, and protection to that stronghold if whig rejoicing. WMiat we said in reply, we cannot just now remember, owing to the noise and confusion of the occasion : but we are con fident that we dodged the questions, and piled the whole load upon Congress. Soon a procession was lormed, and the very welkin rung with Huzz,a forZacha ry Washington and the great whig party of Lancaster 1' Two by two we thvu marched into Mrs Kenwiffs quiet hotel, where we got a chance to slip away by our selves ami write this short letter, kno vi:)r that we have got to shake everybody's h;uui to-morrow, and that Governor Johnson, who knows what he is about, is to s:iy what he pleases for uto the people. We shall now turn in, and vegetate upon the almighty prospect that fate has so uncere moniously opened before us. We observe that a writer in the Repub lic is getting positive in our absence, and denies that John Davis's son is going to England ahead of Abbott. You can just give him the contradiction in French, which in Rnu-liHh mpuns that. hp U as aJse a& in his paemises, and nad ueiter noi ci us into any scrape about our diplomacy, while we are absent, for we know what we meant as well as the rest of them; and if John is cheated out of his outfit, wo be unto the cooks that spoil the broth. In conclusion, we find that we are well known after we are introduced to every body little boys and all and that the chiidreli talk Dutch or English, just as they happen to feel. Keep a bright eye after Thomas during our peregrination; for he is a horse and cart with a cross dog un der the bottom, and can make a great show with a very little money. We semi you a pint mug made in this vicinity by the pot tery, as a sample of the progress of the arts and sciences of this age. You will place this mug in some conspicuous place in the East Room, and tell Bliss not to dis turb the crockery until we come back. We saw Buchanan here for a few mo ments, but we gave him a cold shoulder. He spoiled our fun in that United btates business, and looked as though he was ing to give us a lecture on his own door step; but we set Johnston and Stevens up on him and cut for quiet; and So, dear Age, we remain the second Father of the Country. ZACHARY WASHINGTON. Presuming that the American people, like young robins at feeding time, are hun gry for the emanations of their idol chief tain who is now riding amid the wilds oi Pennsylvania for the benefit of his beloved country, pig iron, and the election ot a whig canal commissioner; and knowing no better way to satisfy curiosity than to choke it in the bud, we give the foregoing as the last whisper from the "HEROIC AGE." "Whig Mendacity. A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from this citv, says: In all the departments, when General Taylor was elected, there were but ninety two whigs out of nearly 700 officers. Let the Union deny this, and we will furnish the proof.' The Union does deny this statement. It doea more it pronounces it a gross and arran t falsehood; known to be such by every intelligent man in the city, and one which the writer, if holding, a respectab e station in society, would not dare to tell over his nwe.
