lesidcrntum to be yet supplied to the public in the way
if a suitable burnish for boots and shi es. Most of the ;
articles nov.' used either injure the leather or fail to !
impart that lustre so necessary to give to man's ' ;- '
dtrstandin g " a proper finish. IF has therefore, dm- :
ing the last twelve months, been devoting himself tot
the task of preparing an article free from these objec- ,'
Cons, and litis at length after much investigation and
experiment completely succeeded. The result is CiiTs

bejn finisled from Goldsboro to Smithlield, a
distance of twentj'-two miles ; and the remaining-
portion of this section of the work, to Ral

jfcgr We learn that Gen. Dockery, the federal I
candidate for Governor, addressed the people
at Edenton a few days since, and was replied
to by Mr. Bragg. We understand the triumph
of v Bragg over the federal candidate was
moit complete. Several prominent whigs in
Chdwan ha-c declared they will not support
Dokery, and among them, it is rumored, Hugh
Collins, Esq., a candidate for the House of

JGg A few weeks since the Batiks of Boston
offered a reward of $500 to any person who
would so arrange bvnk bills that they could not
be counterfeited. The rewartl has drawn out
a large number of inventors. S. Sully, of Ida
Milis, Trov", proposes to form bank notes by
Aveaying any design in silk, linen, or cotton, in
black on a white ground. These notes could
all be made on the bank premises, and several
could be woven in one and afterwards separa
ted. Geo. A.- Clark, of Fall River, Mass., pro
poses to manufacture bank bills in nearly the
same manner. K. F. French, of Fr uiklin, Vt.,
proposes to perforate the letters which express
tlie denomination of the bill. M. Gerhami, of
Delaware, Ohio, proposes the same-plan exactly.
X. Young, 0 Lancaster, Ohio, in a second let
ter proposes the same plan, only that it shall be
theaiame of the bank which shall be perforated,
.n r.r. -l.-yii
trv-achbill for this pnruose. George Ilarvcv.
of lIimond, Va., suggests that nearly the
wlioje face of the bill be occupied with the fig
ures 'expressing its value, so that the whole
would have to be altered. Which of these will
he adopted by our Boston friends, remains to
be seeu.

ico has addressed to all the clergy a circular, in
which he recommends to them the greatest
vigilance in preventing the circulation and
readimr of Protestant Bibles which are beinsr
introduced from the United States in Tamauli-

op says that he has received personal informa

have already been taken by the Government to
prevent the introduction of the bibles and other
books, and to suppress the operations of the
agents alluded to, by whom the bible society is
said to work.

ComHixc ix CoxsiMmo.v. A gentleman
called uon us recently, who actually escaped
from the fangs of consumption some years ago,
and we are induced to present the circum
stances :
"You speak of coughing continually. Let
me suggest to you the query, wiiether this is
tiot unnecessary and injurious. I have long
been satisfied, from experience and observation,
that much of the coughing which precedes ami
attends consumption is voluntary. Several
years ago, I boarded with a man who was in
the incipient stages 01 consumption. I slept in
a chamber over his bed-room, and was obliged
to hear him cough continually and distressingly.
I endured the annovance, night after night, till
it led me to relied whether something could
not be done to stop it. I watched the sound
which the man made, and observed that he
evidently made a voluntary effort to cough.
After this I made several experiments on myself,
and found that I could prevent myself from
coughing, sneezing, gaping, &c, in case of the
strongest propensity to these acts, by a strenous
effort of the will. Then I reflected that cough
ing must be very irritating and injurious te the
delicate organs that are concerned in it, espe
cially when they are in a diseased state. What
can le worse for ulcered bronchia, or lungs,
than the violent wrenching of a cough. It
must be worse than speaking.
A sore ou any part of the body, if it is con
stantly kept open by violent usage, or made
raw again by a contusion just when it is healing
(and of course begins to itch,) will grow worse
and end in death. Certainly, then, a sore ou
the lungs may be expected to terminate fatally,
if it is constantly irritated, and never suffered to
heal ; and this, it seems to me, is just what
coughing does for it. On the strength, of such
considerations as these, I made bold to ask the
man if he could not stop coughing, lie an
swereel no. I told him what 1 thought a Lout
it, as above. He agreed to make a trial ; and
on doing o, he founel to his surprise that he
could suppress his cough almost entirely. The
power of the will over it increased as lie exer
cised it, and in a few days he was mostly rid ef
the disposition to cough. His health at the
same time, evidently improved, and when I last
saw him, he was in strong hopes of getting out
of eleath'o hands."
This occurred eighteen years ago, and the
man comes round now, an active business man,
averring that he has not had a sick day since.
Provincial 1 1 'eseyav.
Singular. The Greensburgh Press tells of a
farmer named Ilise, living iu Decatur count',
Indiana, who sold his farm a short time since
for $1,11)0, in gold, which he put in a carpet-sack,
aud hung it upon his bed-post, and then retired
to rest. In the morning the sack and money
were gone all he had iu the world. To add
to his misfortune, too, he had contracted lor
another farm, and was to pay for it the next
da)'. During the day the carpet-sack was found
in a hollow poplar stump, near his bam, with
the pocket-book in it, but no money there the
thief had secured what he wanted. On Friday
night Mrs Ilise was awakened by. her husband
getting out of bed. She arose and watched
him. He went to the barn, and after searching
a little while came out with the money in his
hand, and went to the stump where the carpet
bag had been put. She now awoke him, when,
to his great joy, he found that all was not lost.
He had doubtless, while in his sleep, become
uneasy about his money on the first night, and
got up and hid it ; the second night, fearing it
was not secure where it was, he was removing
it to a more secret place. Fortunately for him,
his wife detected him in his somnambulistic wan
derings, and saved their all. '- j
Sew and De:rrtlve Cnginrs of War.
The Paris corrcsj ondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette gives the following account of - new eu- -gines
of destruction, which will be brought into
requisition by the present European war. He
says
"The new invention for the more rapiel de
struction of human beings, which the war in
bringing to light, "especially in England, will
surpass all expectations. The arsenals of Eng
land have for a long-time been closed to visitors
even to members of Parliament Vhile thesa
new and terrible machines were being construct- -ednd
experimented upoty jbml -.no &hqw ledge
of their existence even was permttterl "until now
called forth by actual service. 1 any years ago
the English Government had a proposition' be
fore them to adopt Wagner's floating gun, and
hesitated. A member of Parliament exclaimed:
"He demands but 300,000, and yetyou hesitate !
Hasten to buy this machine, declare war against
France, anel you will destroy her marine in a
few days time!" Xo attention was paid to this
apostrophe at the time in France, and pppareut
ly none in England. Rut this terrible invention,
of which the public has ceased to talk, anel
which was even ridiculed at the time, litis been
maturing in concealment in the arsenals of
Woolwich, and is now ready to go out on its
work of destruction.
"The Count Lavalette, captain of military
marine in France, who knew the construction of
this gun, it is said made endeavors to have it
adopted by the minister of marine under Louis
Philippe. It is simply a long Congreve gun,
which glides along on the water in a straight
line till it strikes tlie vessel at which it is di
rected, when it thrusts into its sides its iron
head, contoining two pounds .of fulminating
powder of mercury. When the fire attains this
reservoir, it explodes, blowing a hole in the
vessel ten or twelve feet in diameter, which it
is impossible for them to close np as they do
the round holes made by cannon-balls.
"In admitting that the Russian fleets shall
retire under ti e inap roacl al-le fortresses of
Cronstadt and Sebastopol, they cannot be in
safety from this terrible Congreve gun, which
carries to almost any distance within reach of
the aim, and far beyond the reach of any other
gun. It cannot be prevented from passing
through the most contracted straits where ships
pass.
"The submarine boats are so perfected at
this moment, that they f an reach anel attach a
burner to an enemy's ship without running the
least danger. Experiments are also being made
with an asphyxiating ball, which does not kill,
but which paralyzes an entire crew for several
hour, or until they are made prisoners. They
are embarking also a larger number of burning
explosive balls, which explode invariably when
iymrt:xeiiTSVsmvT-xrc-'ii noise, lor
they inflame at the moment of discharge from
the gun, and By burning like small Congreves
until the moment of explosion, when they may
apply fire to the ammunition chests and other
inflammable material, as easily and as surely as
if they were to fall in a stubble-field.
"Tiiey are furnishing also two small steam
boats of a singular appearance, which will carry
only two enormous Paixhau guns, placed ou the
fore part of the vessel. The walls of these little
vessels have a thickness of six feet, made of
oak, standing upright, and this covered with a
mattress of cotton ml. stance, a foot and a half
thick, which is impenetrable to a bullet, and
this again covered w th a sheeting of iron and
lead. It prow has the angul irform of a cuirass,
intended to turn bullets; the roof or deck is
covered in the same way, so as to allow the
bombs to gliele into the sea without doing
damage.
"Tlie fire-ship, very heavy, and a bad sailer,
will be towed anel let loose at tlie proper mo
ment, to approach near the enemy's vessels,
either when at anchor or lying to, which it will
attack feire anel aft with bennbs thrown between
wind and water, and springkling the ship with
a shower of Grecian lire. One of these burners,
taking by surprise a fleet of vessels in a calm, ,
could with ease destroy the whole fleet, and yet
it only requires the labor of ten determined men
to operate it.
"The peace society have agitated the ques
tion in England of how far a nation is justified
iu employing other ami more destructive me
thods in War than those employed by the ene

Ankcuote of Washington-. One Reuben
Rouzy, of Virginia, owed the General one thou
sand pounds. While President ef the United
States, one of his agents brought an action for
the money, judgment was obtained, and execu
tion issued against the body of the defendant,
who was taken to jail. He had considerable
landed estate, but this kind of property cannot
be sold in Virginia, unless at the discretion of
the owner. He had a large family, and for the
sake of the children preferred lying in j;li te
selling his land. A friend hinted to him that
probably Washington knew nothing of the pro
ceeding, and that .t would be well toscud him a
petition, with a statement of the circumstances.
He did so, and the very next post from Phila
delphia, after the arrival of his petition in that
city, brought him an order for his immediate
release, together with a full discharge, and a
severe reprimand to the agent for having acted
in such a manner. Poor Rouzy was conse
quently restored to his family, who had never
laid down their heads at night without first pre
senting prayers to Heaven "for their beloved
Washington." Providence smiled upon t be
labors of the grateful family, and in a few vears
Rouzy enjoyed the exquisite pleasure of bciu---able
to pay the money with interest to the truly
great man. Washington reminded him that
the debt was discharged, and the General, to
avoid the pressing importunity of the grateful
Virginian, who could not be denied, accepted
the money only, however, to divide it amoti"
Rouzy's childreu, which he inimetUately elid.
