NEW FORT KEARNY,

"We advise all voun quire in early life

FORT KEARNY. May 20th, 1849.

DEAR REVEILLE—This evening about six hundred Sioux and Cheyennes came to the post dressed out in their best.—They formed part of a circle near by, stationed out their guards, and made every preparation for a grand talk. Unfortunately Jeffrey, the only person able to interpret their language, was out hunting horses, and they were compelled to leave without making their wishes known to any one. It appeared to be a sad disappointment to them. They had their squaws, pappooses, horses, dogs, and all with them. Among other curiosities, noticed, to me, a new fashioned "gocart." It was composed of two poles fastened to a mule, on either side of the saddle, the ends dragging on the ground on these were fastened a wicker basket, in which were deposited the cooking utensils and pappoose—even the dogs were made to draw the poles of their lodges. They are said to be a roving tribe of Indians, having no permanent home, but encamping wherever their wars with other tribes, or the buffaloes, may lead them. The Cheyennes and Sioux are combined against the Pawnees.

In a former communication I suggested the importance of starting on this trip with a light wagon and a small load.—Everv day's experience convinces me of the extreme folly of starting otherwise.

Almost every company that has gone by has been compelled to throw a large part of their loading away—sugar, coffee, liquors of all kinds, bacon, pork, even trunks have been left on the road side. Wagons are abandoned every day on account of the animals giving out, and they are considered fortunate who can hasten their progress by being able to lighen [sic] their loads, as in most cases the wagons alone are a sufficient load. The Pittsburgh company, most particularly, are the greatest losers; they started not only with the actual necessaries, but a great many luxuries—at least luxuries on the plains. They have been compelled to abandon them. I could fit out a dozen trains at this post with the stores, at any price. If such is the state of things three hundred miles from St.

Joseph, what will not happen further on? It is almost too late now to start from the States with oxen, unless with a design to winter at the Salt Lake, or in the mountains. We leave in the morning, and will reach the Salt Lake on the 23d of June next, and California by the 10th of August, accidents excepted.

I omitted to relate one funny circumstance. A man belonging to one of the westward bound trains, while on guard one night last week, shot three times at one of his own mules, and disabled it so much, as to make it unlit for service; it is now loose on the prairie.

This is an awful windy country; it blows a gale all the time. I am performing guard duty while writing this letter. The <natives> are about, and it is necessary that we have an eye after the mules —our main dependence. I occasionally go out of the tent, and by lying flat on the ground can see distinctly every mule. My comrades are all asleep. H. C. L. -----

Who Is Old!

A wise man will never rust. As long as he can move and breathe, he will be doing something for himself, his neighbor, or posterity. Almost to the last hour of his life, Washington was at work. So were Franklin, and Young, and Howard, and Newton. The vigor of their lives never decayed. No rust marred their spirits. It is a foolish idea to suppose that we must lie down and die bocnuso we are old. Who is old? Not the man of energy not the day-laborer in science, art. or benevolence but he only who suffers his energy to waste away and the springs ol lifo to become motionless on whose hands the hours drag heavily, and to whom all things wear the garb of gloom. Is ho old? should not be asked but is he active? can he breathe freely, and move with agility? There are scores of gray-headed men wo should prefer, in* any important enterprise, to those young gentlemen, who fear and tremble at approaching shadows, and turn pale at a lion in their path, at a harsh word or frown.

good language both in speaking and writing, and to abandon as early as possible the uso of slang words and phrases. The longer they live the mor^ difficult the acquisition of such language will* be anti if the golden age of youth the proper sea soil for the acquisition of language, be passed in its abuse, the unfortunate victim to neglected education is very probably doomed to talk slang for life. Mbney is not necessary to procure this education. Evory man has it in his power. He has merely to use the language which he reads instead of the slang which he hears, to form his taste from the popular speakers, writers, and poets of the country, to treasure up choice phrases in his memory, and habituate himself to their use—avoiding nt the same time that pedantic precision and bombast, which bespeak rather the weakness of a vain ambition than the polish of an educated mind. There is tio man however low in rank, who may not materially benefit his financial condition by following this advice, and cultivating at the same time such morals and manners a® correspond in character with good words."

STKAUKO A WHOLE HOUSS.—A wealthy proprietor who resides in Paris, but who has'estates in the Arrondissemont of Chateauroux, possessed, among other property there, a house which he let to a tenant well recommended. Receiving his rents with great regularity, and having little leisure he troubled himself very little about it, and for a year or two had not visited the neighborhood. A failure in the usual receipt of his dues, awakening his curiosity however, he took the* diligence, and travelled to Chateauroux. He easily arrived where his house iww—but the lot of ground on which it stood was vacant. On inquiry among the neighbors, he found that the tenant had ordered the hoase pulled down, and had departed, after selling tht materials for a round sum.

fca OF WILD CHERRY. 3 The Original and Genuine Preparahoh. Great Triumph over Disease!

ANOTHER IMPORTANT LETTER: DETBOIT, [Michigan.] DR. H. SWAVWB—Dear Sir: We have been in receipt of your invoice of WILD CHERRY for about two weeks, and we must say that we feel encouraged that the sales will be exten-" give this year. One customer, who came for ti«3 second bottle, stated that his wife had been given up by her physician recently, supposing that she would not survive more than twenty-four hours. A consulting physician pronounced her case desperate—botn of them are of high standing in this place as scientific men and gentlemen. Thefirst bottle had the effect to strengthen her so much, that she leaves her bed and moves about the house. Her husband seemed very much satisfied, and proposed to use six bottles, as he felt confident it would perform a perfect cure. Wo feel confident ourselves that it is much superior to any medicine of the day, and In justice ought to take the prece dence. Yours, respectfully, G. &. J. G. HILL. STILL ANOTHER WONDERFUL CURE

SWAYNE—Dear Sir: Having contracted a severe cold, which settled upioil my lungs, attended with a violent cough, pain in iriy side and breast difficulty of bteathing, 1 was attended by physiof the first respectability,but my symptoms became very alarming there was an abscess formed in my lungs ana made its way through my side, and discharged large quantities of puss externally, so that my physicians thought the power or functions ol one of my lungs were totally destroyed—therefore supposed the case entirely hopeless. This mournful state of things continued for a long time, until I was wasted and worn to a skeleton. I had tried a number of remedies, but all failed to do any good. But there still being a spark of hope left with me and my anxious parents, and having heard of the great virtues of yourCOMPOUNb SYRUP OF WILDCHERRY, and of its being recommended by physicians of the first eminence, I concluded to make trial of it, and to my great satisfaction iny cough gradually rew better, the hole in my side began to heal, and am now happy to say, from a poor and almost hopeless skeleton, I have become healthy, and weigh more than I ever have. All my neighbors can testify to tl# above facts.

DR. SWAYNE—Dear Sir: I cheerfullv add my testimony in favor of your valuable Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, which 1 conceive to be truly the wonder and blessingof the age. For the last four years I have been afflicted with the asthma. Sleep had become a stranger to me night after night would I have to sit up in my bed. I was attended by four or five different physicians, also having used various patent medicines, but all of no avail. I continued to grow worse, until 1 commenced the use of your valuable Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, which afforded me instant relief. After using several bottles I was restored to perfect health.

Gold Seeker's Guide

Secret Art of fin din* Giolt, Silver, Iron. Lead, Copper, -Doal. and other ,* Mineral Riches. °,v^r^°LP°151 j11 California was

The first discovc made by DON Spanish Geologist, Ghemist, and Natural Phi!oso« pher, by means of a newly invented Magnetic instrument, called The Goldometer, or Gold Seeker's Guide!

JOSE D'ALVEAR, an eminent

Signor D'Alvear has juat arrived at New York from the Gold regions of California, by way of Panama, Chagres, and New Orleans, bringing with him a very .'large quantity of gold ore, valued at nearly one million of dollars, which he collected there, long before the existence of the Gold mines became known to the residents of California generally.

History of the Discovery.

Signor D'Alvear went out to California nearly two years ago, in consequence of certain information which he had received of the geological character of that country, with the firm belief that vast mines of precious metals would be revealed there upon careful investigation. He was encouraged to this enterprise, also, by his confidence in the powers of a certain magnetic instrument which hehad in vented, called the "Goldometer,"by whose aid he expected to be directed at once to the "Gold Placere," if any such existed. Nor were his expectations disappointed. His scientific calculations proved to be founded in truth and profound wisdom, and his new instrument, the "Goldometer," fulfilled his highest hopes. In less than two1 months after reaching California, he struck upon one of the nchestgold mines in that country, upon an obscure branch of the Sacramento river. »n a gorge of hills extremely rocky and difficult of'access, and seldom visited by the native Californians. Disguising his object under the pretetfee of purely scientific research, he obtained the aid of some fifteen or twenty simpleand faithful Indians, and steadily pursued his task, collecting often more than $3,000 worth of gold in a single day, which he concealed in a deep ravine, without exk citing any suspicion whatever, until after the discovery of gold at Cnpt. Sutter's mill when the mountains were ransacked by gold ^seekers, andSignor D'Alvear's "gold placer," the richest in all California, was beset with greedy adventurers, it is now found that the real mines or sources of the gold, lie in the gorges of the mountains, and not in the beds or sands of the rivers. Previous to leaving California, Signor D'Alvear sold his instrument, tho Goldometer, a very imperfect one, for $3,000. The person who purchased it confidently expected to make a handsome fortune by simply finding "gold placcrs" and selling out the right of digging to the gold workere. Manufacture of the Goldometer, nnd Publication of the Guide.

Signor D'Alvear, in compliance with the re" quest of numerous scientific gentlemen, hascqmmenced the manufacture of his new magnetic instrument, the GOLDOMETER, which he now offers for sale in the United States, at the rernarkbly low price of THREE DOLLARS each, accompanied bv full instructions for use, and a variety of philosophical hints, drawn from the ancient and modern scicnces, or

The Art of finding Mines of Gold! Silver, Platinum, Quicksilver, Coal. Iron, Copper, Lead, and other Mineral Riches, the whole being given in a publication called the

Gold Seeker's Guide!

This new work and the GOLDOMETER, are both now ready for sale. The GOLDOMETER is so simple aninntrument that a child niay learn to operate with it in five minutes. It is not affected by climate, moisture, or any other known cause, (except the natural magnet,) and will retain its power of pointing out mineral riches in the earth for any number of years. By the aid of the guide any person in ay use the instrument with perfect success.

Farmers and Land Owners. Farmers and land owners throughout the United States, who have reason to suspect the existence of any kind of mineral riches upon .their lands, should avail themselves of this opportunity to test that fact, by the surest of all known tests, before the abundance of discoveries in all parts of the country shall have lessened this source of wealth in their estate.

Adventurers to California. Persons going to California cannot make a better investment than by purchasing one of these instruments, which will not only be worth fifty times its value there, to sell again, but will be of inestimable worth to those who go in search ot Gold, as has been proved by the most abundant experiment, both in California and the United States.

Tpsfi»noniaIs.

Signor D'Alvear does not deem if necessary to encumber this notice with a long list of testimonials, in proof of the value of his GOLDOMETER and GOLD SEEKER'S GUIDE. Tho brilliant result of his labors in California, and the discovery, this very week, of fresh veins of Gold in Virginia, and beds of Coal in Rhode Islnnd, by its use, are alone sufficient to stamp it as tho greatest discovery ol the oge. Nothing but the extreme cheapness of the instrument, and his desire to see it used for the benefit of mankind, induces him to dispose ot it at the low price for which he offers it. Besides this, his own desire for wealth is near ly satisfied.

The following testimonials, in proof of the value of the Goldometer, selected from a great number equally satisfactory, must suffice for the present:

ASTOR HOUSE, NEW YORK, Dec. 21,1848. The undersigned, having this day witnessed tha practical operation of Signor Jose D'Alvear's new\y invented magnetic instrument, the GOLDOMETER, feel entirely satisfied that it possesses the extraordinary power of detecting mineral ores hidden beneath the surface of the earth, and have no doubt it will prove an invaluable aid in the discovery of the mineral resources of the United States and the world.

J. R. DRAPER, Jr., Chemist. L. S. TIERMAN, Magnetic Ins. Maker. G. S. DANA, Geologist.

Los ANGEI/W, CALIFORNIA, August, 1848. This may certify that the undersigned is fully convinccd that Signor Jose De Alvear was the first discoverer of tho gold deposits of California, and that this discovery was made by the aid of a magnetic instrument called the GOLDOMETER, which I have seen successfully applied to the discovery of veins of gold ore, in places where no indications of that substance appeared upon the surface of tho earth. T. W. SHERMAN, Lieut. 3dArt. U.S. A

No Agents.

In consequence of the difficulty of finding faithful agents, and of preventing frauds, where articles of thia nature are sent out for general sale, Signor De Alvear has determined to sell none ot" his works or instruments unless ordered by letters sent directly to him, when the desired publication or instrument will be forwarded under his signature and seal, so that all doubt as to its genuineness may be removed.

JOrBEWARE OF ALL IMITATIONS of thfe instrument which may hereafter appear, as the secret of imparting the Gold Detecting power is known to no person whatever, except the original' inventor. A
