To this end, both nations are to use their best endeavors. In consideration oJ the extension of the boundary of the United States, made by this Treaty, the United States government stipulates to pay ta Mexico the sum of fif teen millions of dollars. In this sura is in eluded the three millions appropriated last session for the furtherance f neace. and now subject to Mr Trist's order. Thij sum is to be paid to the Mexican government im mediately on the ratification of the treaty. The remaining twelve millions are to be paid in frbr annual instalments, bearing ix per cent, interest from the racifieaiion of the treaty by Mexico. Mo portion of this sum, is t ' nsferable ng to the article, the United States -t undertakes all claims of Amer .3 against Mexico, outh those ai ded, ana those still undecided--the owever, not to amount to more ree millions and a quarter of dollars, me iexican archives found by us, after ..h.e taking possession of the ceded territory are to te delivered up. The treaty of commerce of 1831, between the two Republics is to be revived for the period of eight years, and may atyerwards be renewed at the option of both Governments, The Custom Houses are to be restored to the Mexican authorities as soon as the Trea ty shall have been ratified. Means are to be adopted settling the accounts. The troops of the United Slates are to leave Mexico in three months after the rat ification of the treaiy, unless the sickly sea son should come on, in which event they are to retiie to some healthy situation, arid are to be furnished with supplies by the .Mexi can government, on amicable terms. The supplies which may arrive between the ratification of the treaty and the embar kation of the troops, are not to be subject to duty. The treaiy to be ratified by the Presi' dent and Senatfr, and lobe exchanged with in four months after its ratification. The boundary of New Mexico is to be defined as laid down in Disturnell's map of Mexico, published at New Yoik, in 1S47. Eppes the Murderer. This person, (says the "New Orleans Picayune,") who, according to the confessions of oth' er parties murdered Mr. Mum, near Petersburg, Virginia, abou) 2 yearsag has at length been arrested in Texas, near the Falls of the Brazos. He was brought to New Orleans in custody of B. J. Vaughan, who. we believe, is a Sheriff of Virginia, and was taken over to Mobile, on his way to answer the cnas ot jusuc. j ne vjaiveaion news of the 3d instant, gives the following narrative of the circumstances which led to his arrest : Under the name of Judge Shelby he came to Texas, about a year ago, and utopped at Austin for about six months. While here his identity with Eppes ap pears to have been detected, and infur mation to this effect was sent to Virginia. Upon proper evidence, the Governor f that State made a requisition for him upon the Governor of Texas, which was given in charge to a suitable person, who has (or some time been on tht search. Eppes, having some intimation of his danger, left Austin last October, and it was not until very lately that his whereabouts was discovered. We see his arrival in Petersburg an nounced. ; Raleigh and Gaston Railroad. We find in the Raleigh Register of March 15th, that the Council of State assem bled in Raleigh on Monday the 13th, in obedience to the call of the Governor, to advise him as to the best roe6ures to be adopted in regard to the Raleigh and Gaston Rail road, under the recent ca lamity of fire which befol it. The Governor in his message to the Council, says: Three different courses of procedure appear to me to be open to us namely: 1st. To abstain from any interfer ence, and leave the Raleigh Railroad to go to destruction. 2d. Toconvenethe Legislatuie to protect it against this casualty. 3d. To exercise for this end, the power and authority of the Governor and Council, under the act of the General Assembly, ratified the Cth day of Janu ary, 1845, entitled "an act to authorize fhe foreclosure of the mortage on the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad." He then shows that his preference is far the proposition to borrow $ 25,000 for the purpose of putting it in the same atate it was before , The Council fully concurred with the Governor, and passed the following res--options: Resolved, That the Council of State do advise and consent to the proposition .of die Governor, that a sum of money, not! exceeding 25,000, be borrowed in betalf of the State, for the purpose of eptiring the loss and damage occasion ed tv Hie recent fire to the Raleigh and Gadjon Rail Road; and that the Govern or bi advised to convey the said Rail RoaL and all the public property at tached thereto, in trust to secure the re ' payment of the amount of such loan with interest, at such a time as he may aree upon Iwith the lenders. Wbtnt&lMtiau $ Thursday, March 23, 1S48. Errata.Our last paper wai almost a mass of errors, owing to the hurried manner in which it was got out those of most importance we proceed to cor rect : In many of the papers, ere it was discovered, Laikia Stowe, Esq,- 'was made to figure as the chairman of the Lincoln meeting, to the detriment of Col. John H. Wheeler, whose blushing honors we do not thick it right should be thus deviled from him ; the mistake was corrected ere our whole edition was worked off, and the Colonel, before stowed away, placed in his proper posi tion in line. In Mr. Leak's letter, at the 39th line for promiscuous read pernicious ; and on the 2d column, at 14ih line, for profess, read possess. Several minor errors also occur, which the intelligence of the reader will easily detect and rec tify. 0"The President, on Tuesday, nom inated the Hon. Ambrose H. Sevier, U. S. Senator from Arkansas, as Com missioner to Mexico, with full powers to negotiate and close the treaty. The nomination was immediately confirmed, and Mr. Sevier proceeded forthwith to Mexico, to fulfil his misson. "The attention of our citizens is res. pectlully directed to the card of Dr. Spencer in this day's paper. UTe have had the pleasure of examining Dr. S.'s instruments, &c Which are of the finest order. Among them, we noticed one of his own inveution, which, when brought before the pubiic.(as we under, stand i: will be, so soon as letters pat ent are procured) we think must prove highly beneficial in the practice of den tal surgery. It is certainly a very in genious contrivance for accomplishing thai which we are informed cannot be performed with any instrument now in use." Athens, Ga. Whig. Many of our citizens will be pleased to hear that this ingenious piece of mechanism the work of Dr. Spencer's own hands, while he was sojourning a. mong us, practising dentistry, to which branch of science the invention is to be applied, has attracted the attention of a discerning public. Wo hope the Doctor may succeed in obtaining his patent, as his ingenuity richly merits if. Our paper to-day will be found quite interesting, containing as it does all the current news of the day, and something to grin over. "Grim visaged war" seems to have "smoothed his wrinkled brow," and now instead of mounting fierce and barbed" mustangs, to "fright the souls of Jearful adversaries," our soldiers are "capering nimbly in" some old convent, to the lascivious pleasing of a banjo. In the meantime, the Court Martial assembling at Puebla, will con tine to furnish food for the gossips, when they get through with Senor Don Nicholas P. Trist, who many have wish ed domesticated with his paternal ances tor, old nick, long since. When Cap!. Hoke wa9 last heard from "ur boys" were with him in the city, and all well. We hope to see them "to home" by the 4th of July, as we have a toa3t for the oc casion. Capt. G. W. Caldwell, of the Dragoons, has been nominated for Ma jor in the Regular service, which he will accept, if appointed, and then make the Army the "scene" in which he will hereafter "play." Success to ur gallant fellow citizens, Hoke and Caldwell, and the brave remnant of those who followed them to do their country honor peace to the ashes of the dead. We havo seen a letter form Col Eli as Earle, of Greenville, in which the most honorable mention is made of his brother soldier,:Israel 1 Detter, who died at Puebla. Though it was not his fate to fall in battle, yet his bearing, and noble daring, gave evidence that he would not be foi'nd wanting in the hour of danger His last thoughts were of home, and its endearments, his last words were of hi mother. He was buried, in a good coffin, and with the usual military honors. 5C7"The Baltimore Firemen have commenced their rioting again. It is suggested as the only remidy to substi tute a paid for the volunteer vs:em. Mr. Clay continues to fly around with' so mnch rapidity, that like "a comet he is wondered at." At one moment his star seems to be in tho ascendant, the next Gen. Taylor stands. be'.wePn the "wind and his nobility." We believe there is no doubt but ihat the old coon will be handicapped for the Presidential purse; he has often been "the favorite ' but a mighty bad na, to bet on. The Philadelphia Saturday Evening Pest, has been enlarged, and improved, thus rendering it one of the most enter taining family newspapers in the Union, while it is surely the cheapest. Its tone is quite moral, while its contents never fail to amuse as well as fjstruct. We wish the enterprising publishers sue- ceas.and recommend, the Post to our readers, as an exception to most of the northern papers. The weather for the past week has been wet and unsettled ; it is called good growing weather, however ; the fruit trees seem to be taking advantage of the season. Lincoln bids fair to become one vast orchard, our citizens of late having turned their attention to the cul ture of young trees, most of which they obtained from Mock's nursery. The or chard place of Mr. C. C. Henderson, 3 miles north of town is one of the pret tiest country seats we have ever visited, both in the arrangement and situation, as well as the quality, and number of fruit trees (2,500 we believe) covering several acres of ground. Messrs, Guion, Alexander, Phifer, Motz, c. fcc. are also engaged in the business, but not on so large a scale. RIO GRANDE ITE.MS. The Monterey Gazelle, 16th ult, states that (ien Wool has ordered a detachment of 2d Dragoons, under Captain Hunter, to Monclova, to take post theie for the purpose of collecting revenue. The detachment was to leave Mon.ery for its destination on the 21st ult. The collector has been instructed by Gen Wool to proceed in the collection ot inter nal Mexican customs according to instruc tions from ihe War Department of Novem ber 16, 1847. The Flag-says that the Sd Dragoons sta tioned at Meir, re making preparations for a march to Victoria, the capital of the State, with the intention of occupying it as a military post. There are no Mexican troops at Victoria, and th? people were openly ex pressing themselves solicitous that the de partment ofTamaulipas should corns perraa nently under American rule. A man named Isaac Bloomingdale, who had passed a number of forged notes to merchants in W jlmington, N. C. to the amount of $2700, having absconded from that place, was pursued by one of the parties aggrieved, and arrested at Galveston, Texas. He was taken back to Wilmington a few. days since, and committed to jail to await his trial. The remains of Drevet Captain Geo, W, Ayres, who fell mortally wounded at the storming of Molino del Rey, ar rived at Philadelphia on Monday last, in the ship Washington, irom New Or leans, and were taken to his mother's residence,from whence they were to be removed .'or inteiment under a military escort. Vessel Supposed to be Lost On or about the 15ih of December last, the sloop Dolphin, Captain Diamond, sailed from the mouth of the Rio Grande for Vera Cruz. She did not arrive at her destination, and as she has now been absent several months, we need Iisnllv conjecture as to her fate, and the fate of tne passengers on board, most of whom were formerly residents of this place and well known to this community. The following is a list of the passengers names, as accurate as can be remember ed Daniel Peters, ot Texas ; D. AP Nabb, formerly of .Mobile, Ala; Eli Dodridge, formerly of Galveston. Tcxa ; Thomas Davidson ; William M'Cleary, wife and child; Mosierand fmilv : M.' ry Jane Ruth and sisier. lormerlv of Galveston : two Germans, iidrr.e nn known. In all, there were seventeen persons on board. A Philosopher. A poor jolly wea ver, in this city, not many years ago, had a fortune left him by a distant and wealthy relative who "went ofi the handle" in England, rather unexpected Iy. When the news came to the poor fellow as he sat clicket te clack at his loom, he stopped still and said: 44 Well, 1 suppose I must spend the money straight." The fortune, some twenty odd thous and dollars, was duly realized and duiy spent. For two brief years did the poor weaver travel, make merry, and riot upon all the luxuries ofthe land. But two years did th job, and he're turned to his loom as poor as a church mouse but merry as a cricket, and worked away again for his da.lv bread, perfectly satisfied with the "good time" he had while his fortune lasted. His friends call him green, but he laughed at their gibes, and worked the harder In a twelve-month's time, off popped nn other rich relative, and the news, post haste, came to the jolly weaver, that he was again the possessor of a handsome fortune. Stopping his loom, and look, sng sorrowfully on the letter, he despon dinglygaid: "Good heavens! is it possible that I must go through all that again !" Wcw Establishment.

The indications requiring Spencer's Pills and Bitters, and when they should be used without delay as a preventive to Ihe formation of Acute diseases, are When there is pain in the back or head, When the Tongue is furred ; When the urine is very highly colored When the skin is hot. dry, or yellotc; When the Appetite is poor; When there is pain in the stomach or bowels; W?heu there is nervous irritation; When there are cold Chills; When the dreams are bad or starling in sleep; If taken upon the occurrence of any, or all of the above indication of anproacli ing disasemuch pain and sickns will be prevented We have room only for the following The following Certificate is from To bias Folsom, Esq., of Kershaw District, S. C. Kershaw dist. S. C.June 3 1846. 1 have ued in my family "Spencer's Pills," for two yeais past, and during that lime my confidence in their euperi-. ority over every other similar prepara tion within my knowledge has been con stantly increasing; I now esteem them to b the best cathartic Tills in use . From my earliest remembrance I have been afllicted with Sick Head ache and Costiveness, and for a number of years past have been trying various advertised remedies, nmong others, Beckwith'f, Lee's and Peter's Pills; but failed to ob tain any permanent relief, until Jan'y, 1645, at which Ihe time Dr. Spencer's Agent left me ome of his Pills, recom mending me to try them for my com plaint. 1 did so ; and by their superior notion upon ihe morbid matter and their mild yet effectual purgative proper ties ihey so cleansed my stomach and bowels that they removed both the head ache and its cause and gave me certain and speedy relief. My mother-in-law has also used them with success in the same complaint which she has had, so severe as to throw her into spasms and convulsions, being obliged in these ca ses to lesort to cupping and other severe applications. I have also made frequent and rnnet.mt nea f 1 l.m n u.n . v, ,,,3r, l iiin ( my family, in cases of Dowel Complaint, brought on by the two fiee indulgence in use of Berries aud Fruit, and in all cases with success. In short 1 have ne ver known ofthe failure in any disease which they are recommended to cure known of their being tried, if their use was for which 1 have preserved in, and directions strictly followed. TOBIAS FOLSOM. 12H Kershaw dist, S. C. June 2, 1846 In January, 1844, from wet and expo, sure, I took a severe cold, which re suited in a high fever, accompanied with a severe cough,and painful head ache. These continued to increase in severity for about two weeks, so much so that my friends considered me, and I, myself, believed I was in a very criti cal and dangerous state: At the end of this time 1 sent and procured twobox es of "Spencer's Pills," and the fir-t day of their use I began to experience relief, and before 1 had taken one box, my fever was gone, Cough had ceased, and Head-ache entirely cured : I wa oon sound an well: 1 then said and sull believe, that by the blessing .f God, they were the means of saving mv life: In looking over the directions af terwards I saw they were recommen ded for the cure of Dyspepsia, with which my eldest daugh ter had been afflicted lor a long time: I recomrnen ded her to make trial of them ; and she did so ; and by a continued use ofthe Pills alone was perfectly and I think permanently cured.
