Dr. D. Jayne. Dear Sir. -My little
son, when about two months old, was seiz
ed with a bftwel complaint. It continued
for two weeks without intermission, and !
notwithstading the remedies prescribed fcy
rPnPMnhTp Phvsiman. ivp rnve un thn
child a victim, as we supposed, to a fatal
" - ' t - r i i
disease. But I providentially heard of
"Jnyne's Carminative," as an effectual !
cure for bowel complaint, and immediately j
despatched a messenger to a town seven-!
teen miles off for a bottle. Bv the use of
this medicine, in less than thirty-six hours
j
the disease vvas checked, and by its constant
use tor a lew uays, me cniiu was restored
to perfect health. Shortly after this, there
ui'curreu a similar ease in ne oi ine iami
Jies of my congregations.. I prescribed-

was a speedy cure.

Gen. Scott was expected to come down
I .
from Mexico as soon as the Couit ol Inoui
rv aaiourned, and leave for the U. States.
The Court of Inquiry had Been in sess
ion ,n the City of Mexico. " Gen Scott
had delivered a Speech before the Court,
characterized bv much warmth and feelinir.
in which he complained that he had been
struck down,! and brought -) forward, as
chief criminal," &(., On the 17th of
vl arch. -Gen.. AVorth, "for the welfare ai.d
hnrmonv vof the service," withdrew the
aocusations made in his appeal against Gen
Scott; whereupon "General Scott, 1 alter
ome remarks, withdrew his charges agsinst
Gen. Pillow and Col. Duncan. This left, ot
'ourse, no duties for the Court of Inquiry
o perform; and we hope the matter will be
allowed to rest ' at this point. Military
TuFicers may have their piiyaie griefs, ami
i they may demand trials before Court Mar-
tials; but the public judgment, after all, is
what they arc looking to, and that judg
ment, they ought to have the good sense
to know, will ultimately settle down ac
cording to right, truth,and justice. There
is enough glory for all;.of them. The peo
ple thank them for . their services, and will
hold , those services jn grateful remem
brance; and they, can add nothing to their
reputation, either as officers or men, ;by
disputes and contentipnst among them
selves. i
Every thing was quiet in.Mexico. i Gen.
ButJer was i universally- beloved ; : by. the
troops. No intellignce from the Treaty
of Peace. -
The' New.Orleans papers teem with the
Proceedings of the Court of Inquiry. Not
withstanding the withdrawal by Gen.
Worth of his charges against Gen. Scott,
it seems the. latter officer still entertains
the bitterest feelings. - He told the Court
that the President had treated hioi with
gross injustice; that Gen. Worth might go
forth rejoicing in the plenitude of Execu
tive favor"; that he (Scott) was 'done"
with Worth ."forever"; and that his "atti
tude" towards his "accusers" meaning
the President and Secretary of War, was
that of -"defiance'? High language in
deed for a military officer to use towards
the civil povver! Beyond all question the
President did right in the matter between
Worth and Scott; and the latter, instead of
fretting and raging in this way, oucht to
thank the Administration for having put
him in a position to win so many splendid
victories. President Polk-owes it to the
dignity of the office he holds, ns well as to
the American people, to teach refracto
ry Generals though the laurels of a hun-
idced battles should adorn their brows
that he-is lheir perioi? and' that they are
expected, at all-times,-not only to defer to
the civil power, but to do it with respect
aml decency. Justthink.of the "attitude"
ed by Gen. Scott! ' He comes home,
breathing "defiance "' Jis partizans and
"Pel familiars" throng about himThe bids
for ,,1C Presidency; he receives the nomi

vengeance, suppose he enters the Presiden-

Ji Swindler ai Tallahassee. A fellow
of genteel appearance, tall, well made, yvilh
auburn whiskers and goatee, calling him-
selfWT. S. Carpenter, introduced himself walked out and remained until his hosi be
to the merchants of Tallahassee, and said came uneasy and instituted search, when
he had come to buy cotton. For funds,
h:? had a certfficate of deposit on the Bank
of New York for $6,000, which he inclos-
ed to Brown, Brothers & Co. taking care to
have a lad as witness that the letter was
deposited in the Post Office. In a few
days he began to draw on B. B. & Co ,
selling his drafts freely, Until he had drawn
for the whole $6,000, when he absolutely
refused to draw another dollar, as he had
exhausted his deposit. Alas! there was no
certificate of deposit in the letter which
Brown, Brothers & Co. received, no money
in the Bank ot N. York, and when the
drafts got back to Tallahassee, there was no
W. S. Carpenter there. The buyers of
the exchange thereupon concluded that
Mr. W. S. Carpenter, though "tall, well
made, with nuhurn whiskers and goatee,"
was after all nothing but a swindler.
