I was afflicted with a violent Cough, Spitting of Blood, Night Sweats, Hoarseness, aRd sound of the voice indi cating an alarming state of disease ; my appetite was gone, and my strength had so iar tailed me that my friends and physician were persuaded I could not survive many days. My sister, whi was my anxious care-taker, made inquiry where she would be likely to procure the most certain relief. She was told that if Dr. Swayne's Com pound Syrup of Wild Cherry failed in the cure, my life was then hopeless. Your medicine was immediately procured, and the first bottle gave re lief, and by the time I hud commenced the sixth bottle my cough had left me and my strength was much improved.

GENERALS SCOTT AND WORTH. COCRT OF INQUIRY AT PCEBLA. From the St. Louis Republican, of the 20th ultimo, we extract the following letter of "Gomez," in relation to the difficulties be tween Generals Scott and Worth. In giring it a piece, it is proper to state that the late ar rest of General Worth, at the city of Mexico, had no connection with the circumstances here mentioned.though it seems to have been caus ed by a rupture of a similar character : Messrs. EditorsIn one of my letters, writ ten from Puebla, Mexico, I promised to ex plain the mystery that up to this time exists as to. the serious and much to be regretted dif ficulty existing between the tvo distinguished and gallant officers above named, and to fur nish for your valuable journal the proceedings of the Court of Inquiry demanded by General Worth, growing out of the causes that led to this disruption. . With a view of redeeming that promise, and for the purpose of removing erroneous and unjust impressions against the general-in-chief of the army, I propose to trespass once more upon the notice of your readers. To a correct understanding of the merits of the controversy, it is proper to remark, that the first cause of complaint on the part of Brevet Major General Worth against the general-in-chief, was the unqualified disapproba tion of the Jatter of the terms of capitulation entered into by the former with the municipal authorities orihe city of Puebla, in his advance upon and occupation of that city. General Worth, it will be recollected, was directed by Gen'l Scott to act with his division as the ad vance corps of the army until reaching and occupying Puebla. As a matter of history, and for the purpose of permitting every man to draw his own conclusions of the justness or unfairness of Gen'l Scott's disapproval of the terms of that capitulation, I deem it due to all concerned to insert a copy of the capit ulation, I deem it due to all concerned to in sert a copy of the capitulation itself. It is in these words : During the occupation of the capital of Pu ebla by the troops of the United States, they will inviolably respect the Catholic religion, which the nation professes, the public wor ship and morals, the persons and property of all the inhabitants. The civil local authorities will continue in the free exercise of their functions, conforma bly to the laws of the country. In conse quence, if the General of said troops should consider any other measure necessary, besides those dictated heretofore, especially for the maintenance of public order and tranquility, he will communicate his wishes on said subject to the above mentioned authorities, respective ly, according to their nature, and sustain and protect such measures. The custody of the prisoners and officers in charge of the municipality will continue in charge of the force which the civil authority has allotted to it, composed of forty men of the battalion of the free (libus) allowed to go free from Vera Cruz as a convict guard, until it be relieved by that of the United States, when said prison guard will be allowed to re tire with their arms. Approved and granted : W. J. WORTH, Maj. Gen'l Com'g. True copy : J. C. Pemberton.Capt. and A. D. C. HeJquarters, Chichapa, May 15, 1847. The second cause of complaint on the part of Gen'l Worth, against the general-in-chief, was the disapprobation of the latter, at a cir cular addressed by the former to his division alone, at a period when the entire force of the army, including the general-in-chief, was gar risoned in the city of Puebla, with the excep tion of the small force left at Jalapa under Col. Childs. That circular purported to con vey the information to the first division, of which Gen'l Worth was the commanding offi cer, that a design was contemplated by the citizens of Puebla to poison the fountains from whence our army drew their daily supply of water, and in that way destroy us ; and pla cing them ou their guard against such inhu man and nefarious designs, if in reality there was any ground of apprehension whatever that such threats had been made, or if made, whether there was the slightest possibility of their being put in execution. To the exceptions taken by the general-in-chief at :hese two official acts of Gen'l Worth, the latter became greatly incensed, and per mitting his feelings to pervert his better judg ment, became most violently and bitterly inim ical to the general-in-chief. The result was, what every reflecting officer in the army most deeply regretted, a rupture in those friendly relations which for upwards of thirty years had existed between these two gallant and justly distinguished military chieftains. A brief statement by Brevet Maj. Gen. Worth, of the matters in which he conceived himself wronged by the general-in-chief, and to which the investigation extenaeu unuer uie order instituting the court, in the following terms, viz : 1. In the matter of an interview had May 15th, at Chichapa, Mexico, between Brevet Maj. Gen. Worth, commanding 1st division of the army, and the civil authorities of ruebla, at the instance of said Brevet Maj. Gen. the general-in-chief (verbally and in writing) has improperly, in manner an in matter, charac terized the proceedings at said interview, to the prejudice and wrong of said brevet major general. 2. In the matter of a circular, which was addressed to Brevet Mai. Gen. Worth, to the 1st division on or about June 16th, 1847 the general-in-chief, verbally and in writing, has hashly and injurously characterized said circular, and in a manner uncalled for, and to the undeserved reproach of said inferior offi cers. After the investigation of the above matters, the court made the following decision in the case : Opinion. Tht regarding the regards of the general-in-chief, dated June 17th inst., en dorsed upon the translated copy of a letter from the Mexican Judge Duran to Maj. Gen. Scott, dated the 16th of June, inst., as hypo thetical and applicable only to claims urged by the Mexican authorities, which the general-in-chief at the time of his remarks, sup posed to be " without authority," and which Brevet Maj. Gen. Worth insists were not con ceded by any of his official acts the court can perceive nothing in. the remarks of the general-in-chief to which Maj. Gen. Worth could properly take exception. The court is further of opinion, that the terms of stipulations granted by Brevet Maj. Gen. Worth to the functionaries of the city of Puebla upon his entrance with the advanced corps of the army into that city on the 15th of May last were unnecessarily yielded, and in effect, detrimental to the public service. And that the grant of these privileges was in contravention of the ninth and tenth para graphs of General Orders No. 20, published atTampico, on the 19th day 01 reuruary, ana was not warrented by the letter of instructions of the general-in-chief to Gen. Worth. The court, as required, further declares its opinion that the "circular" published by Bre vet Maj. Gen. Worth to his division, dated Puebla, June 16, 1847 was highly impro per and extremely objectionable in many res pects, especially as it might tend, by exasper- atingthe whole Mexican nation, to thwart the well known pacific policy of the United States, and in view of the high source from which it emanated, to disturb tne friendly relations of our Government with Spain, or at least give occasion to that power to call for explanations or apologies. The barbarous offence, against which the circular warned the soldiers of the 1st division, if it existed at all, equally affec ted the whole army. The information ob tained by Gen. Worth, if worthy of notice, should therefore have been communicated to the general-in-chief, that he might have exer cised his discretion on the means to be adopn ted for correcting the evil. With these views of the circular alluded to, the court is of opinion that it called for the emphatic admonition and rebuke of the gener-al-in-chief. In conclusion, this court deems it material to the case to express the opinion, that it is the right and the duty of the general-in-chief, and indispensible to the preservasion of pro per discipline in the army, that he should at all times possess the privilege of freely com menting upon, disapproving, or censuring the official acts of his subordinate officers. 3. The general-in-chief approves the pro ceedings and opinion in the foregoing case. 4. This order will not be extended beyond the commanders of divisions and brigades, and the chiefs of the general staff. 5. The court of inquiry, of which Maj. Gen. Quitman is president, is dissolved. By command of Maj. Gen. Scott. (Signed) II. L. Scott, A. A. A. G. I regret that the circular alluded to in the foregoing proceedings has been mislaid by me, or I would likewise have given a copy of that. GOMEZ. Augustine Iturbide. This young Mexican Officer, who is now in Washington, on his parole of honor, is thus described by one of the letter-writers: His father was the chief ruler of Mexico at the time Santa Anna first revolutionized that country and placed himself in power. Of course, tyrant as he is, he could not feel safe in his usurpation, unless his predecessor was destroyed. Iturbide was therefore beheaded by Santa Anna's order, his widow and family exiled, and his estates confiscated. Madame Iturbide took up her residence in Georgetown, D. C, where she lives to this day. A small pension allotted her by the Mexican Government, with which she has managed to subsist and educate her children. She has three daughters and one son, the sub ject of this sketch. He was born in this coun try after his father's decapitation, and is now twenty-three years old. He is a little less than medium size, has a pleasing address, dresses in the bon ton of fashion, but wears the imperial and moustache of the Mexican Caslilian. His complexion is very fair, ap proaching to whiteness, and his eyes, which are brilliantly black, reflects fully the Spanish character, being large, lustrous and restless. When the Mexican war broke out, Iturbide being of age repaired to the Mexican border, and the first opportunity which presented, made for the Mexican camp and offered his services to Santa Anna. He was very criti cally questioned by the Mexican Chief as to his object in thus returning from a life of ex ile, and putting himself in the power of the very man who had beheaded his father. Itur bide relates that he assured Santa Anna it was from love of country that he had returned, that he had no design upon him or his gov ernment, but simply wished to serve as a com- mon soldier in the armies of Mexico. He was immediately commissioned a Major, and made Aid to his Excellency, where he served as one of his Staff through all the battles in which Santa Anna had command. He was finally captured together with La Vega, at the late battle where Walker fell. He was taken, brought to New Orleans, and let go on his pa role of honor. He is now a prisoner at large, but still is in the enjoyment of the largest lib erty. It is said there is a large party now in Mex ico anxious to restore Iturbide to his rights, as heir apparent to the throne. He may yet figure in that capacity, although he disavows any inclination to such an honor. He hates Santa Anna most cordially, believes him a tyrant and traitor to his country. He says at the battle of Churubusco, he knows that Santa Anna intended the commanding ge neral at that point should be sacrificed ; his policy being to get every prominent man out of his way by any means ne could. Pins. A dozen years since all the pins used in this country were imported. Now, none are imported, except a few German pins for the supply of the German population of Penn sylvania. This wonderful change has been produced by a concurrence of circumstances the most important of which was the inven tion, by Mr. Samuel Slocum, now of Provi dence, of a pin-machine, far superior to any then in use in England. This led to the es tablishment of a pin-manufactory at Pough keepsie by Messrs. Slocum, Jillson & Co., which, contrary to general expectation, was entirely successful, and soon distanced foreign competition. Thus things went on, until the passage of the Tariff of 1842, which, by in creasing the duty on foreign pins, encouraged other parties in this country to engage in this business. Foreseeing this, the above men tioned Company which was succeeded by the American Pin Company at once reduced their prices 20 per cent., and have since redu ced them 10 per cent. more. Of all the Pin Companies which have been established or attempted in the United States, only three are known to exist at present, viz : the American Pin Company, (which has works both at Poughkeepsie and at Waterbury, Connecti cut,) the Howe Company at Derby, Connecti cut, and Messrs. Peiton, Fairchild & Co., of Poughkeepsie. The quantity of Pins turned out by these establishments, especially the two first, is enormous. The statistics of one of them, we have ascertained, are about as follows : Per week, 70 cases, averaging 170 packs each, each pack containing 12 papers, and each pa per 280 pins: making an aggregate of 36,984, 000 pins per week, or 2,079,168,000 per an num. If the products of the other two estab lishments, and the small amount imported, are together equal to the above, we shall have a grand total of 4,158,336,000 pins for con- cumntinn m tia Un'ttaA titae .null fnOftHnn i cumiuuii ju lug uiiii&u ubCkl,c, cuai un an average fnr pvptv man. nnman and child in the country. A pretty liberal allowance, we are thinking. The number of pin-making machines employed by said Company is about 36, and of working people about 60. It would be difficult to describe these machines so as to make their operation intelligible to those who have not seen them in motion. We will only say that the wire which is to be wrought in to pins runs from a reel like yarn into one end of the machine, and comes out at the oth er, not wire, but pins, cut, pointed and head ed, in the most perfect manner, at the rate of 150 a minute. This is about the usual speed, but the machinery is capable of being so ad justed as to produce 300 a minute.

One sticking mackine will stick as many pins as three pin machines can make ; and three of the former can be attended by one girl. A part of the pins of theA.merican Pin Com pany are made of American copper, obtained on the borders of Lake Superior. The triumphant success of American pin making without the aid of protection, or rath er in spite of it, shows that when skill and in dustry are combined, " some things can be done as well as others." Ar. Y. Jour, of Com. A first attempt at keeping School. WThen we were about seventeen years of age, we thought we had sufficient dignity and "science to take charge of a country school, as we doubt not we had. Having received, there fore, from the chief committeeman of an ob scure district in the State of Maine, an invita tion to 'flesh our virgin sword, in this way, we joyfully accepted the task, at eight dollars a month, with the evinable privilege of board ing round,' without charge. One fine, bright, cold Monday morning we found ourself on the scene of action. It was in a cedar swamp, on the back or northern side of a bleak and barren range of hills called Appleton Ridge an appropriate name excepting the apple ! All the houses and buildings in the place were built of logs, with the exception of the respectable seat of learning, over which we were to have the honor to preside. At nine o'clock we took our magisterial seat and with becoming gravity promulgated a code of laws. The usual exercises of reading and spelling having been gone through with, we began to find our flock rather unruly. May I gwout?' said one, Please, sir, may I speak ?' said an other. Of course, in our extreme desire to conciliate and make friends of all, we gave permission. That moment we were done for. Every scholar was up, and every tongue was loose. ' May I gwout?' . May I gwout?' May I speak ?' so all were going out or all were speaking. Thus passed the first day. Night never descended on a wearier man. We sought our boarding place and what a place ! a log hovel, almost as large as a down east snow drift, containing one room and an attic, a stone fire-place, a red-haired couple, and ten children of all sizes, one dog and two cats. At supper, all parties surrounded the table. It consisted of tea, sweetened with molasses, fried pork, and boiled potatoes, and corn bread, baked to the hardness of a rock. But the tea was musty, the butter was rancid, and the pork we never eat pork, so that in fact our supper left us hungrier than it found us. We slept in the attic, to which- we ascended by the aid of stones that projected from the chim ney ! So ended our first day. The second day. Arose early, went to Squire Lenniken's to board. House of same ma terial and dimensions. Breakfast fried pork and rye coffee, and butter made of hog's fat. Carried our dinner to the school-house in our pocket; it consisted, as we found on opening it, of two slices of rye bread, with pork fat spread between them as a substitute for butter. At school we found the scholars worse than ever whipped six boys and four crirls. and got whipped ourself, and thrown out into a snow bank ! Third day. We were ' non est in ventus.' At the earlieet dawn we fled to a place called Hope. We have never heard from that place since, nor have they, probably, ever heard from us, or to what country we fled. Thus ended our first attempt at school keeping. uazette of the Umon. The Onion. The ancient Egyptians paid religious homage to the heavenly bodies, at the same time reserving superior tokens of adoration for the sun, which was their arch idol, and to whose worship, as well as for the purposg of observing the motions of which, the Egyptian pyramids were built and devoted. It was under the reverentially repeated name of on the being that the same Deity, the sun, was known by the same nation, and to his honor a magnificent city in Egypt was designated by the same name, on, one of the temples in which was known by the duplica ted title on-i-on the Being, the One, the Be ing. This has given occasion to those whose object was to inquire into the real meaning of things as little as possible, to accuse the E gyptians of working onions, whereas they on ly regarded these as symbols of the solar sys tem, which they worshiped. The onion re ceived that Egyptian name from the curious analogy, that if you cut it through horizon- tall', each section presents a resemblance of the solar system the sun in the centre, and the orbits of the planets revolving round it, making up the substance of the root. Thus, whenever we mention the name of this use ful little bulb, we express the duplicated in effable charmword of the ancient Egyptians, esteemed by them in its simple form on, (of which, too, the Hindoo avm or om may be a variation,) as the most sacred imaginable. Expensive and cheap Religion. The fol lowing immense sums have been admitted by the reverend fathers of the English Church to be their yearly incomes : The Archbishop of Canterbury, JE28.000; Archbishop of York, l 4,550; Bishop of Lon don, jGl 4,550, and terraces of noble houses are ris;ng up on every portion of his property, which will ultimately raise his income to 100,000; Bishop of Durham, 22,000; Bishop of Asaph, 6,650. Six other Bishops enjoy incomes which average upwards of 6, 600. Mr. Horsman stated in Parliament, that 2, 000 clergymen of the same church received less than 100 each : and he knew some who had only 50, and some as low as 5. Ma ny of the working clergy were suffering pri vations, such as have never been heard of in civilized communities ; and some of them were obliged to ask charity, and to borrow a coat to be able to perform their duties! An old Fmc.-We find the the Boston Journal: following in In the Unitd States Senate, last week, Mr. Dix, from the committee on Commerce, repor ted a bill providing for the issue of a register for the barque Canton, which was passed. This vessel wa3 built of teak wood, in the East Indies, nearly one hundred years since. She was originally owned by the Dutch East In dia Company, but after various mutations of fortunes recently came under the Haytien flag Early last winter she got ashore on the Mus cle ledge, at the mouth of the Penobscot, where she remained combating with the storms during the winter. But the strength of her timbers, notwithstanding ber great age, prov ed more than a match for the winds and waves, and she was got offin the spring and taken to Bath, where she had been purchased. She was found to be but little injured, was repair ed, and is now again navigating the ocean. After passing through such an ordeal, who will sav that she is not worthy to bear the stars and stripes. Such an " old naturalization. salt" deed worthy of is in. Term for Advertising. rzn swtas w mtim uitei oa tsss. One siuaie one insertion, $1 CO do.

Coffee Drinking. No idea can be formal at a distance, of the extent to which coffee drinking is carried in New Orleans. At break of day at meridian in the dead of night it is all the same, the coffee sellers in the mar kets are ever at their posts, Teady to wait on their numerous customers. This is particu larly the case in Poydras market. There, a young man about three years since (an Ital ian we believe, for an American is too proud for such vocation) commenced selling coffee from a board counter and a coffee-pot worth three dimes we frequently took a cup of his excellent beverage, and occasionally do so now; but times have changed, the Italian has his clerks the rough table has turned into the beautiful marble of his native land and the tin coffee-pot has been metamorphosed in to a monument-looking urn, four feet high, on the top of which is a bronze monument of VVashington, the whole costing fifty thousand dimes.' Tne Whale Fishery. The New Bedford Whalemen's Shipping'List, of the 11th, con tains the annual statement of the importations of oil and whalebone and general statistics of the Whale Fishery for the past year. The importation of sperm oil, in 212 ships and 27 brigs, &c. has amounted to 120,752 bbls, sperm, 313,150 bbls. whale oil and 3,341,680 lbs. of whale bone. The price of sperm oil has ranged from 93 to 107 cents per gallon; whale oil from 34 to 40 cents; and whalebone from 26 to 35 cents per lb. The whole ton nage employed, in the Whale Fishery, Jan. 1, 1848, was 210,541 tons; showing a diminu tion of 19,677 tons the past year. Mr. Clay's Speech in Mexico The Lex ington speech of Mr. Clay has been exten sively circulated throughout Mexico, and has created quite a lively sensation among the Mexicans. They, we are informed, do not disguise their hopes, that the predominance of the Whig party in this country will result in the withdrawal of our troops from Mexico. N.O. Delta. We will not comment upon the above most pregnant item of news ; we are not partizan enough to dwell with any pleasure on the re flections it would justify. If there is a single Whig who can read it without feeling his cheek tingle with shame, that the patriot of old, whom his party once almost worshipped, has now become the aid and comforter of our country's enemies, then he is a " Mexican Whig" indeed. Vicksburg Sentinel. The Leonidas Letter. General Pillow has denied any responsibility for the letter signed " Leonidas," which created such a hubbub throughout the country some time ago. Here is his certificate, taken from the Star, of No vember 28, a paper published in the city of Mexico : " Having seen a letter in the Picayune, of the 20th uit., signed Leonidas,' I feel it my duty to say I know nothing of this letter or of its author. " If there are any disposed to attribute it to me, or who suppose I have given it my sanc tion, they are as illiberal. they are unjust. " All candid men, who know me, must be satisfiel that I would not myself, nor would I allow my friend, to commit such an act of folly. " I am witling lo be judged by my written reports, but I utterly protest against the injus tice of being held responsible for the anony mous letters of friends or enemies." Pea-Patch Case Award. It will be recol lected by our readers that a long-standing con troversy hag existed between the United Slates and the State of Delaware.asto the ownership of the Pea-Patch, and that the case was sub mitted to the sole arbitrament of John Ser geant, Esq., the distinguished member of the bar at Philadelphia. It was argued at great length on the part of Messrs. Henry D. Gilpiff and John M. Claylon, on the part of the Uni ted States, and Messrs. George M. Bibb and John II.
