THERE are many family medicines
now before ibe public, some of which,
from their intrinsic virtues have justly
gained the confidence and gratitude of
thousands; but in the light of contrast, and
in the scale of curative merit, Dr. HarrelPs
Tonnto and Slippery Elm Pills stand
pre-eminently above them all; nor is any
apology offered for taking this high
ground, unless it is the fai l of their supe
perior, and almost miraculous effects in the
cure of diseases. They produce, when ta
ken, a deep and listing impression that
tliey stand at the head of all other prepar
ed medicines of the day. Fevers, Liver
aff-iiion;, Jaundice, head-ache, loss of
appetite, costiveuess, female complaints,
ami every disease within the reach of liu
(!',m weans; yield readily to the power
fji, yet penile operation of these pills.
As a cathartic they are copious and free,

BACON AND GREE.WS!
By Green Peas Bacon , Esq., G. P.
I have lived long enough to be rarely mis

Hut my woes h ive been solaced by good
greens and bacon,
And my joys have been doubled by ba
con and greens.
Fol de ri do bacon and greens.
What a thrill of remembrance e'en now
they awaken,
Of childhood's gay morning and youthV
merry scenes,
When we one day, had greens and a
plate full of bacon,
And the next we had bacon and a plate full
of greens.
Al . well 1 remember, when sad and forsa
ken, II cart -wrung by the scorn of a Miss in her
te-ms,
How I rush'd from her sight, to my lov'd
greens and bacon,
And forgot my despair over bacon and
greens.
W hen the banks refused specie and credit
was shaken,
I shared in the wreck and was ruined in
means:
My friends all declared 1 had not "saved
my bacon,"
Dut.tl.cv lied for I still had my bacon
and greens.
Oh! there's a charm in this dish, if 'tis right
fully taken,
'I h il, from custards and jellies the epi
cure we ins,
Stick your lovk in the fit wrap your
geea rjund th" bacon,
And xou'il vow there's nothing like ba

If some fair v a g?ant of three wishes would

So wr rthh ss as

SILK AND THE SILK JOURNAL.
The Journal of the An. ericanSilk Society,
for October, ha- been on our table for some
da s. Tiiix number con'ains much piacti
cal information on the subject of wnicb it
pruftes to treat, and fully sii-tains itscha
racter as the hes publication of the kind in
ibe Uniietl St.'tes. In a .short article on
tue pr' M.rvationof Mubic.uiis ov er u inter,
Mr. Smith furnishes the information here
published, which we give with the hope of
assisting our ti lends.
When kept in a cellar it is not neces
sary to cover the whole tree with earih;
place the rootunder the earth just as you
would set the tree in the ground to grow, &.
prevent the root from drying or b com
ing otherwise injured, and you preserve
the tree of course Sand is unnecessary
for the preservation of trees ordinary
earth is even better than sand. But saw
dust is the best thing, both for preserving
trees in cellars and warehouses, and for
packing them in boxes for transposition,
if sawdust sufficient can be obtained, the
trees may be buried entirely in it, when put
in cellars or warehouses. Our much lament
ed friend, the deceased Mr. Herbemont, of
S. Carolina, always packed his grapevines
in boxes with saw dust; and although we
saw many thousand vines of his packing,
many of them after remaining in the boxes
four or five month", yet we never saw one
that had been injured in the least. They
always grew finely. We have not seen
ihe m.dticaulis packed in sjw dust, but
have no doubt u would succeed jusi a
well as the grape vine; the object being
to keep the roots of the tree gently moist,
cool, and from the light. Any thing that
is liable to ferment would injure them,
either by causing them to grow or to
mould. Hence green moss is not a good
protection for the roots of trees, while it
remains green. If the cellar be v ry
damp and warm, cold air must be given
hy opening opposite windows: and if
this cannot be done, it is an unfit place for
the trees; for whether you bury the whole
tree or only the roots, they will be very
a;H to become mouldy or mildewed,
which will certainly injure them. Re
member that cold never injures them in
"och placesindeed, the colder the phc -'he
better, provided they are Kept cold.

New route from Charleston to New Or
leans We observe by the papers of the
South, that thenewroute from Charleston to
New Orleans, which has been contempla
ted for some time past, was to go into ope
ration on the first of the month. It is
nromised that nassenjrers shall be carried
bet ween the two above named points in
about four days travel. The route is
as follows.
Charleston to Brunswick, Geo.. Steam
boats. Brunswick toTallahassee, about 175
miles, stages. Tall-diassee to lola on the
Appal. ichicola rivir, about 40 miles, stages,
lola lo St. Joseph's, 25 miles, Hail Road.

As travellers can now come from Boston
to Wilmington in three days, and hence
to Charleston in 12 hours, they they will
be enabled; as is here indicted, to go
from Boston to New Orleans in less than
Eight days, and nearly all hy what may be
called inland travel. IVilmington Chr.

(JIt is estimated by the Memphis
Enquirer, that the farmers in that section of
country have saved this season the sum of
seventv-five thousand dollars. This ea-'
v ng has been effected by raising their
own bread and meat, instead of buying
their necessaries of bfe from their up
country neighbors. The Enquirer says,
the country teenn with general abundance.
Every farmer, and indeed all other?, ate

ated 300,000 for the purpose of erect

The Burnt District. Wc took a strolt
yesterday in the vicinity cf the burnt dis
trict, and were net a little gratified at the
progress of enterprise and improvement
since the fire. The foundations of the old
buildings have been cleared, and the old
bricks cleaned, and in one instance, that of
Messrs. C. King & Co, the new walls are
beginning to rise. We learn that a major
ity of the stores are expected to be com
menced during the present season. All is
life and animation and any thing but a
mournful spirit is apparent. Indeed, in al
most every instance, the stock of goods on
hand was extremely light, while the insu
rance in the most cases, was sufficient to
cover the greater amount of damage.
The aggregate loss both to insurance com
panies and individuals is estimated at about

Texas and France. The recognition
of Texas by the French Government, and
the conclusion of a treaty between the two
countries, have already been announced.
In some Paris journals, lately received, we
have noticed that the Minister of Com
merce, Mr. Cuntn Gridaine, had proposed
after the adoption of the project of treaty,
to insert an article guarantying freedoni
of conscience. We hardly think that a
French statesman would, at this Iale day,
present such a proposition to a community
of Angle Saxon origin. The National
very properly remarks upon this subject,
that freedom of conscience exists in the U
nited States, of right and in fact, and
the ycu"g Republic of Texas would com
mit a sad an ichronism, if it were to be less
toler nt than its patent Stale
At Buenos Ayres, under the Presidency
