A New Discovery. Some time since, Mr. Bancroft of Boston, an Ex-Unitarian Minister, we believe, discovered that "Democracy and Christianity are one;" and we are told by the Tennessee papers, that pending the recent canvass in that State, this was the text that many Ministers of thelSospel, who preach politics from their pulpits, profanely declaring "that the principles of Loco-focoism are the principles of Christianity, and that they were derived from Jesus Christ." And now we have before us the prospectus of an Administration paper, to be published in Petersburg, in which it is declared that "Christianity and Democracy spring from the same fountain the same infinite source of goodness, and must go hand in hand together in conquering the world to righteousness" to illustrate which truth, it says, is a part of its mission! Thus we go,
from liberty to licentiousness; corrupting
the purity of religion by mingling with it the turbid stream of human folly and pas-

champions. Lynchburg Virgin ian. General Morgan. The Rushville Herald, in announcing the death of General Morgan, says: Gen. Morgan entered the service of his countrv during the late war, and performed active duty. He was one of the earliest settlers of this county, and for fifteen succestive years represented it in the State Senate, where he acquired a standing and influ
ence that few legislators attain. Indued it may be said without despairing others that for many years he stood at the head of that respectable body. Occupying this position, his name is intimately blended with almost every important measure of Stnte policy that has "been agitated for several years. He was a self-made man. Without the advantages of early education and depended on his own resources he acquired a name and character that will long be cherished by the people of this state. In private life Gen. Morgain was highly csteemend. Plain unassuming and affable in his manners and in his intercourse with society and strictly regarding all its obligations he sustained without reproach the various relations of husband father neighbor and friend. He expressed a read ness and preparation to die and departed calmly and in peace with his God. The death of such a man is a public loss.

Deer Hunt. Singular application of
the power of steam. We have heard of
boots being blacked, clothes washed, loveletters written, and butter churned by the implication of steam; but we never before heard of deer being caught by the same omniscent ag?nt. The Naomi on her passage down the Mississippi encountered a fine large buck swimming in the middle of the river and immediaseiy gave chase. Having soon come up with the enemy, she rounded to and threw out grappling irons; but the deer letting out a reef in his topsails, scudded away from their reach. Now commenced a regular hnd interesting trial of skill. The deer doubled and tacked with the skill of an old privateer, but the steamboat was "there," at every turn. At length, the deer, wearied with his exertions, and dismayed at his persevering adversary, surrendered himself an unconditional prisoner of war, ann was treated with great honor and attention at a public dinner given on board the boat the next dav.

GODEYS LADY'S EOQg. This work has been emphatically termed, The Ladies' National Magazine, as it is a receptacle for the contributions of the most celebrated Female writers of America most of whom of any eminence contribute to its pages. For a list of the names of the ladies end gentlemen who contribute to the Book, eae October cover of the Book. Twenty volumes have already been issued. It is usual to announce that a small edition only will be published. Contrary to this, the proprietor of the Lady's Book announces that he will publish an immense edition, with which he hopes to supply all those who will favor him with orders, commen
cing witn the January number It will be seen by this advertisement, that every effort has been made by the proprietor of this work to make it superior to any other in America, and as a New Year's Gift, the Lady's Book is probably the most proper that could be desired for ladies, edited by their own sex and assisted as the editorial department is by the pictorial embel
lishments it is positively the Boudoir com'
panion.
There are other publications that advertise Fashion Plates. The publisher of the Lady's Book wishes it to be distinctly understood that the principal Fashions in his work are colored, and in every No. which is not the case with any other work published in this countrv. Uncoiored Plates of Fash

disease, and in warm and humid
climates, frequently resists every ordinary mode of cure, so as to become very distressing to the patient; and by the extreme debility which the disease induces, it often
Marsh
miasmata, or the effluvia arising from stag
nant water, is the most frequent exciting
cause of this disease; and one of its great
peculiarities is its susceptibility of a renewal from very slight causes, such as from the
prevalence of an easterly wind even with
out the repetition of the original exciting cause. In this, fever and ague differs from
most other fevers; as it is well known, that after an ordinary fever has once oecurred,
and been removed, the person affected is not so liable to a fresh attack as one who was not so affected. These circumstances render it extremely difficult to effect a permanent cure of fever and ague, though to relieve the patient for the time being is a very
easy task.
MOFFAT'S LIFE PILES AND PHISNIX BITTERS have been thoroughly tested, and proved to be a Positive and Radical Cure of fever and ague. Hundreds of his fellow-citizens in the West, have voluntarily come forward to assure Mr. Moffat that the LIFE MEDICINES are the only medicines
that will thoroughly effect a removal of this most tedious and disagreeable disease. Others who have emigrated to that rich and promising portion of our country men

Their hopes arc blasted their business energies destroyed their EI Dorado becomes a desert, and the word of promise mode to the ear, is broken to the hope. To these individuals, Mr. Moffat would say: "Try the LIFE MEDICINES, and you will yet anticipate j-our most sauguine expectations, for they will certainly restore you to health." Fever and Ague is a complaint which requires to be met at its first approach, and combatled at every stage. Seldom fatal of itself, it reduces the strength, and impairs the functions of the organs, so that upon the manifestation of disease, Nature is unable, unassisted, to resist the inroad. The Life Medicines, when taken strictly according to directions will cure it, and give to the weak and trembling victim of disease new health, life and strength. Fo r full particulars of the mode of treatment, the reader is referred to the Good Samaritan, a copy of which accompanies the medicine. A copy may be obtained of the
different agents who have the medicine for
